In the summer of '08 I had the pleasure of meeting Rick Stewart and his wife Ruby.
We worked on designing a logo to celebrate Rick's 50th year in Drag racing (Above).
Rick has been a competitor, record holder, track manager and currently NHRA
Chief starter. One of only two in the history of the NHRA. The other being
the late Buster Couch. Rick granted me access to his private photo
collection and below are just a few of his pictures from his early
days as a Top Fuel driver.
I hope you enjoy these picture as much as I did. If you do, it is well worth your
time to find a copy of "7 Second Love Affair". This is the the documentary by
Robert Able that follows Adams, Wayre & Stewart Top Fuel team as
they pursue the second
half of the two-part world's speed record in 1965.
