We talk to NHRA drag racing champion Eddie Hill about his Favorite Race, the 1988 NHRA Supernationals at Houston Raceway Park, an amazing tale where his Top Fuel car grenaded three blowers in a row. Out of blowers and money, another racer loaned Hill a blower, and as a thank you, Hill beat him in the next round. Joe Amato was defeated in the final go with Hill running a 4.936 ET, and as Hill came down the return road, the heavens opened up. What a race, and what a story!
