I met Vic Edelbrock Jr. in person at an event at PIR in 1998. Got his autograph. Nice guy.

I watched this series and was really entertained. You tube. By bill pitts. Series is 51 episodes, about 15 minutes each . Title-“ the surfers”. Most comprehensive video history of top fuel’s biggest cinderella story, the skinner, jobe and sorokins story. Three calfornia kids that beat the top fuel world with absolute junk. Anyone would love the story. Learn about all the greats. The mole. The master. The flea. The dooner. The goose. The snake. Tv tom, they are all there. A perfect thread in the tapestry that is hotrodding. Its history at its finest. A masterpiece. A must see. Plenty of links to other gems. Enjoy.

Back in the early days there was plenty to learn, and tom jobe was ahead of them all. The surfers ruled.

Heres your hotrod history assignment of the day. Youtube. Series is titled “ don prietos” author bill pitts. Bill pitts channel. This guy was a key player in everything that you ever took for granted. He was a rodder, early fuel racer, he played a lot of roles. But the thing is without this one guy the dark side would have stopped hot rodding cold with orwellian legistlation that would have banned modifying production cars completely. He was editor of key magazines and played heavily into the formation of SEMA. Just a kid from louisiana? Hardly. Watch his interviewed autobiography. Its a utterly amazing tale. Find out how this subtle influencer was known as “ the wavemaker” which he truly was. Prietos stirred the caldron for shure.
