MOVERS & SHAKERS UNFINISHED BUSINESS A pack of legends were on hand to celebrate the 50th running of the NHRA Gatornationals in March, as the NHRA brought in specially branded Toyota Camrys for eight legends to race in the “Unfinished Business” competition. Former NHRA lead announcer Bob Frey announced the special race with the help of former Top Fuel driver Darrell Gwynn. Half of the field was made up of Joe Amato, Kenny Bernstein, Don “the Snake” Prudhomme and “The Professor” Warren Johnson. The other half (not pictured) included “Big Daddy” Don Garlits, Shirley Muldowney, Ed “the Ace” McCulloch and Terry Vance. Johnson defeated McCulloch in the final round after beating Vance and Muldowney. 52 | D r a g I l l u s t r a t e d | DragIllustrated.com Issue 144
