Adam Sorokin recently won the infamous March Meet, to match a deed his dad (Mike) did over 4 decades ago. We know Mike's looking down from above as a very proud father and we here in the Hier family, are very proud of this fete as well. Adam and his father before him, were and are good friends of ours and we understand the emotion and congratulate Adam on this huge achievement.

B&H Racing's Ronnie Hier - Junior Fueler
Nostalgia Drag Racing started in the late 80's, becoming popular in the 1990's. ANRA, then Goodguys brought notoriety to the sport making it one of the fastest growing sports in the world.
With its hay-days in the 90's, a popular class was Junior Fuel. Believed to be popular among race teams because of the relatively lower cost than nitro cars, these front engine dragsters were limited to 410 inch displacement and ran on Alcohol (with several other rules to keep the cars like they were in the 60's). They broke the 8 second barrier and then went on through the 90's lowering the times down into the mid 7's. There were easily over 2 dozen cars competing in a fun an exciting class during this time.
Though arguably illegal to use, the advent of 18degree head changed the class into more expensive racing with haves bringing the ET's down to the 7 seconds flat level and the have-nots s few 10ths back.
The beautiful red car shown here was Bender and Hier Racings Junior Fueler (circa mid 1990's). The car was by far the best looking during its era and finished third in the points twice (ANRA & Goodguys).

Henry Ford built his 1st car in 1895, but in the annals of history, no one car made as much of an impact as the Ford Model T.
1908 was the year and historically was known as the first assembly line built automobile - the Model T would put Ford on the map and make a place in history.
"You can paint it any color so long as it's black." - Henry Ford
Some interesting facts on the Ford Model T:
The 1st Model T had less horsepower than some of your current day lawn tractors.
It got 20mpg (some say as much as 25mpg) - not bad considering it was 100 years ago!
The 1922 Model T sold for $250.
It cruised at 45 mph, an amazing speed when you consider how long ago it was.
Because of the Model T, Ford eventually had up to HALF of all auto sales.
By the way, did you know Ford had 2 Model A's - the first production Ford, built in 1903 was called a Model A and then again, the more famous Model A of 1927-1931.
