This man is a legend of Drag Boat Racing and NHRA Top Full. 👍

Awesome dude😊

A thing of beauty 😍 we always love you Eddy big fan 4 years

What size and type of tires? I'm thinking about putting A7s on the stock 15/16 wheel setup but don't think they'll fit under the fenders, or I'll overheat them

Great car Eddie! Still shocked you gave up the Hondo though.

Hello Eddie, I used to watch you here at Firebird. Started boat racing after watching you. I think you are the greatest and admire your humility. Wish I saw this when you put it up for sale. Simply beautiful.

Looks familiar !

Beautiful boat Eddie I’ve got a Hondo that Tim Morgan built an engine for it. Money well spent. Boats are worth every penny for the enjoyment they give us.

She is a beauty, I have a 1971 Hondo Vdrive myself and it is definitely a blast to run up and down the river in. Take care and be safe.

Thanks for the comment, westbender 820. Ercie and I always enjoyed the Nuclear Banana, too, but we are really enjoying our open wheel road racing now. And I get a LOT more drive time! Eddie and Ercie :-)

And you are absolutely right about one thing for sure "GOD is good! ALL the time...

Wow That is one sweet ride... mmm... mmm I just picked up a 1974 Hondo named "Flat & Sassy 484". It has been covered and sitting in a lean to in Arizona for 30+ years and it needs a LOT of TLC. As I was perusing through drag boat info online I came across your boat and it's amazing the similarities. The colors are very close and the number lettering on the side is identical. Mine has a 454 Chevy dual 850 Holly w/high rise the gentleman who bought it brand new in 74 ran it for 3 years from what his kids said he had winterized and put it up for the winter in 1977 and he got sick and never touched it again and It sat in that lean to ever since. I was working with one of his daughters husband and he told me about it. I asked if they wanted to sell it and they just wanted rid of it as they had sold the property and were required to get rid of "All the Junk" They gave it to me to help haul stuff off. I pulled it out put new tires on the wheels, changed the wheel bearings and pulled it to Tennessee, it's now in my garage and this winter I begin the rework. (I would have put up a pic but couldn't figure out how to do that on a post) Thanks for putting yours up for everyone to see it gives me hope I can make mine look like that. v/r Rick

I would love to buy that off of you!

That boat is beautiful Eddie..... I would do anything for a hot lap of arrowhead in it....

I think we all have noticed Eddie's foot placement and how he works the pedals....but we are truly missing his hand placement. In the long straits: 9 and 3. Then watch his left hand slide up to the 10 as a lefthander is approaching. Knowing the track layout, hand positioning and positioning your hands based on where you are on the track at a given time are the little things like this are what separates the novice from the advanced.

Absolutely head turning vehicle! It treads a fine line between formula racing car and wild road car!

Passing everybody on the track!

What engine does use?

I knew gene deaver. I got magazines n trofeos. With this boat. He built it

Desperation setting in?

Not the Nuclear banana.lol but still sounds good!!

I wish I could afford it, knowing me the insurance alone would kill me! It's one sweet ride that's for sure!

Now...one more lap on nitro.

Wind noise is OK,Stay well. 73s

Great to see and hear you Eddy,Stay well my friend.Happy Holidays.73s

Always one of my favorites everytime I got to go to the races. Eddie, Jimmy Wright (may he rest in peace) and Glenn Hitchison in Sin Fuel. Rex and Glenn did the motor work for my dads boat. He had a BGH named The Blown Rebel. I miss the old days and going racing!

Well, markjulian, it is for sale, now that I have moved up to a pro formula Mazda road racer. I know I have sure enjoyed this supercharged Honda K20a powered Atom more than any other models of the Ariels I have been selling and driving. If you can afford it, it will be more fun than the money it costs.

Should I buy this?

WOW I Will definitely own one ASSUME ride. Mine will modified to the maximum bur I would definitely need some type of cushioned racing seats THANKS for sharing 😎👍👍

I would love to own this, or another Honda powered Ariel. Also, congrats on having the best Wife in the World!

You drive like me.

Amazing..

Eddie, if I had the money I would buy this car from you right now. I know it is for sale, but sadly Uncle Sam does not pay me enough....but I retire in six so if you are unlucky enough to have not sold it by then I will be calling.

born 1936 ?? .. this is an pretty fast old man 👍

Stay out of Boats Eddy! Thank you,73s

So very good to see my Fav Drag Racer on YT..I wish you and Ersa the very best!73sTY

Wow, you just left them!!!

Your looking real good Eddy.Fantastic.You gave me big joy when you ran the Bannana,Very good to see you.As far as buying the car.Well I need teeth n shoes bro.Very good to see you say hello to your wife.73s

The acceleration of that thing is impressive. Great job Eddie. Tom

why heel-toe when you aren't keeping the revs up near redline most of the time while driving? no hate just asking what diff it makes

Thanks for your kind words. Yes, Street legal almost everywhere, Mine in Texas, Jay Leno's in Cal. I'm the dealer for these Ariel Atoms and have sold sixteen of them so far. Huge fun, and they are very reliable, with hardly any maintenance required. Eddie

Eddie, Steve Gibbs sent me this. Great to see you still out there racing. That thing really flies. Is it street legal like that too? Wish we could see you at drag strips... in a twin Pontiac, dual slick nostalgia car perhaps. You are a class act , sir.

Two thumbs UP to the camera man who understood his viewers -- thoroughly enjoyed how we could see _both_ the track and your leg work for us curious folk!! I could only imagine the other drivers faces as you passed them ! :-) Fantastic power/weight ratio + superb driving made this a pure joy to watch (and I don't even like 99% of sports!)

You're still going strong Eddie! Thumbs up
