HILLARY'S FIRST DRAGSTER

While doors on a dragster may be a little unusual, that it just what you will see on Hillary Will's dragster this season. Team owner Ken Black has spent all of his years in motorsports around drag race cars with doors, commonly called “doorslammers,” and believes in the creed that “real race cars have doors.” Therefore, his Top Fuel dragster will have doors painted on each side of the car.

"Ken Black and his son Ken Jr.'s only requirements were that the dragster have flames, doors, and they wanted it to be similar Greg Anderson and Jason Line's paint schemes since we are a team,” explained Will.

The dragster features the flames, fashioned from the paint scheme for Jason Line’s early 2005 design, that have come to be associated with the Summit Racing Equipment-backed Pro Stock Pontiac GTOs driven by three-time NHRA POWERade Pro Stock champion Greg Anderson and 2004 NHRA Rookie of the Year Jason Line.

Will will make her Top Fuel professional debut at the NHRA CARQUEST Auto Parts Winternationals at Pomona on Feb. 9-12. (Design by Greg Ozubko) [1-06-2006]
