Eddie Hill was one of my best innovators from the Black top to the H2O. Remember seeing him at red Bluff California with Tim in that fly machine. California and Texas put on our unbelievable show that weekend
The Texan was an all white BFH that he crashed at over 220 mph and almost lost his life. After that crash he started racing TFD because he said it was safer. Lol! Miss racing weekends. We ran a BGH named The Blown Rebel that was a bad bitch back in the day. 1320 ft ran low 6's in the 170's.
Boat at Columbiaville sort of tan was the Texan BFH I have pictures somewhere I was there that day to I think he ran 220 or 229. I believe the Texan was the boat he crashed that got him out of boats for a while as it dam near killed him. Thank God he’s alright and still around to inspire all us Engine Builders etc.
If its still the same boat it used to be yellow and he actually came all the way up to Vancouver Island BC Cowichan lake drags with his wife Ursy pretty cool boat and really neat people I remember chatting with his wife on the beach ...
No problem! later in the day I even got to ride with him in his flatty....A day I will never forget. ("My ride with Eddie Hill" video here)But don't watch that video, my wife was so nervous the camera is REAL shaky.Peace...
One the last true innovators in the sport . His whole career he would come up with new ideas and work ..

Sure would like to know who owns this boat now. That was our motor out of our old jetboat my dad sold him.
Did Eddie Hill just Drag or did he also do circuit racing as well .
Famous in the Drag Boat Community 😅
