Ed’s biggest wins came in the “Impulse” Funny Car-winning the AHRA Winternationals
in 1982, beating Gary Burgin, Tom McEwen, and Don Prudhome in the final round and
also setting both ends of the track and event record. Although he never won the
Fuel Altered Nationals in the “Mob” car – he did win 6 Fuel Altered Nationals in the
Impulse AA/FA. He also toured Australia with me in ’79 and ’80. Whatever Ed chose to
do in life-He did it 100% and he was execellent at it, whether it was driving a race car,
building a driveshaft, flying his airplane, or even just drinking beer !!!!!!!!!!
He coined phrases like “Whipcream the tires” for tire smoke, and “Duckbutter and Cheesewhiz” for gasket sealer. The world will not be the same with him.
