Check out legendary #TopFuel #Dragbike racer John Sands.

When Sands passed away in 2010, APE's Jay Eshbach's said, "Like Elmer, John understood the "show biz" aspect of the sport as well as how nitromethene works in an engine. He parlayed both into a very successful racing career.

Jim Turner of Piedmont Raceway used to book the little Honda in to match race Jim McClure on his Harley. The crowd loved the loud import vs the loud Harley, and turned out in good numbers to see this show.

He was the go to guy for the early dohc Hondas as well as injected nitro."
