Bill Edwards Racing

May 18, 2010 · Print This Article

It is a huge honor to have the opportunity to drive for Bill Edwards. I met Bill last year when we were working on Hugh Ridley’s Top Alcohol dragster together and immediately liked him.

Bill is walking drag racing history. He drove his first dragster in 1958, seven years before I was even born, and has been racing ever since, over fifty years.

His experience and wisdom is immense.

His budget is very small, using mostly second hand parts, and a chassis built in 1978 he is still able to run 5.50 et’s and qualify at the Seattle National event in 2009. He takes his time in preparing the car, and is a stickler for details. He watches all the small things that add up to get the car down the track. It is a huge pleasure for me to be able to work closely with him and learn.
