I don't know anything about racing really but it is sad to see the old racers pass on.
I was checking out the story on the nhra link on the article you posted and the last pic on that page. Saying there weren't many cars hoffman couldn't manhandle to his will. Wow, that thing looks like it had to be hurded down the track!
