lmao @ you 2



mike mcgraw is his name, him and eddy hill are close friends, he got thrown out of the boat in 84 around 130, broke ribs and his arm, after that is when he stopped racing.. got into drag cars about the time eddy started racing topfuel dragsters. but he didnt do it professionally, just helped on a few local guys funny cars.

Cool, I'll ask a few of the old racers if they know him. Its funny that you mention Eddie Hill. He is actually hosting a boat show and dhine at his cycle shop next month, and a pic of my boat was used on the flyer. I have never met him, but I am looking forard to it at the show and shine. He post alot on our boating forum He seems like a real down to earth guy. Here is the flier for the event.

Good deal, look forward to meeting up with you. I still need to make my motel reservations for that weekend. From what I hear, it should be a big turn out.
