Notes: Run at the first fuel car match race at the Motorplex (before the national event) on a green track in August, no less. At the time, it was the fifth-quickest run in Top Fuel history. Original pre-Internet draglist entry. Listed times from The Drag Racing List December 86/January 87, Volume 1, Number 9. | Eddie attempted to qualify at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals, but his 5.82/249.30 best was good for the second alternate spot. He was in the same boat at Gainesville and Atlanta when his 6.00/245.36 failed to qualify for the NHRA Gatornationals, and a best of 5.85/252.38 (first alternate) failed to make the show at the NHRA Southern Nationals. At Baton Rouge for the NHRA Cajun Nationals early in June, he qualified on the "bump" with a 5.78/249.72. Hill had problems in the first round and shut off to an 11.75/68.99 loss to Gene Snow's 5.71/228. That seemed to open the door for Eddie as he qualified #9 at the next NHRA race, the Springnationals, with a 5.61/248.20. He lost to low qualifier Gary Ormsby's 5.64/256 in the first round, with a 5.66/217.97. He didn't go to Canada for the NHRA Grandnationals but was back on the tour at Englishtown for the NHRA Summernationals, where he qualified #9 with a 5.53/254.81. Eddie qualified #8 at the World Finals at 5.496/261.24, but he was upset by Ed Moore in round one, 5.72/246 to 5.86/245. |

Notes: Hill had a horrendous outing at the NHRA Winternationals. While qualifying, the bolts for the front wing loosened to a negative angle, and the car went skyward. While the front of the dragster attempted to fly, the back wheels stopped the clocks with a 5.21. Eddie pulled the chutes, and the car crashed down hard. The car was wrecked, but he was OK. Darrell Gwynn lent Hill their spare chassis, and Fuzzy Carter and his crew went to work putting their engine and driveline into the frame. After everything was together, Eddie went to make a pass to qualify, but the motor broke (crank). With one qualifying session left to run, the team again swapped out an engine, and with minutes to spare, Hill ran a 5.25/229.47 to qualify #13. That run hurt yet another engine. So for the first round, they faced (you guessed it), Darrell Gwynn. Hill lost and went home with a destroyed race car and three hurt engines. What a way to start the '89 season. Eddie ran three cars this year. The best qualified NHRA times at standard national events were 5.006 at Ennis Fall 89 and 288.83 at Houston 3/89. The pictured car was definitely run from Memphis to Sonoma. We need to confirm it was the car that ran these best times. Also was a 'shorty' car that ran at Gainesville (and perhaps elsewhere). Look up Jim Hawkins' DragStats when we identify exactly which car ran which race. Where was the 4.93 run? Or is that a misidentification of the 1988 4.936? |

Notes: Hill was at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals, where he ran 5.12/271.16 to qualify #11. In the opening round, his 5.18/271.98 fell to eventual winner Lori Johns' 5.04/265. He also qualified #11 at Firebird Raceway for the Arizona Nationals with a 5.07/271.24. He fouled against Darrell Gwynn in the first round and slowed to a 5.39/259.59 loss. Houston was the next stop for the NHRA Supernationals, and for the third straight time, he qualified #11. A 5.07/264.08 got him the spot. A 5.21/262.85 got around Kenny Bernstein in the opening round, and in round two, his 7.35/157.92 was enough to beat Johns' who had broken a clutch. Eddie tried hard in the semifinal, but his 5.07/271.32 lost to Dick LaHaie's 4.97/278. Things went pretty well for Hill at Gainesville for the NHRA Gatornationals. He reached his first final round in ten months despite qualifying #14 with a 5.21/270.51. In the first round, he survived a tire smoker with Joe Amato that had his 5.98/256.19 beat Amato's 6.24/203. In the second round, a 5.11/272.31 stopped Ken Koretsky's 5.42/262. In the semifinals, Gary Ormsby's 5.17/278 fell to his 5.12/274.47. He faced Gwynn in the final, and Darrell was tough as he set Low ET at 4.98. A time he ran twice. Still, Fuzzy Carter tuned Hill to his best run of the weekend in the final, a 5.08/275.56. It still wasn't enough to beat Gwynn's 5.01/279, but it was a good showing for the team. He did not run at Rockingham for the NHRA Winston Invitational, but he was back on tour at Atlanta for the NHRA Southern Nationals. His 5.10/274.13 qualified #10. In round one, a troubled 8.98/58.50 lost to Ormsby's 5.07/279. At Memphis for the NHRA Mid-South Nationals. A 5.05 got him into the #4 spot. He beat Tommy Johnson Jr. in round one before losing to Bernstein in round two. He duplicated his starting position at Baton Rouge for the NHRA Cajun Nationals with a 5.08/271.98. He beat Don Prudhomme in the first round, and a 5.23/257 beat Bernstein's 5.24/271 in a very close second-round match. But in the semifinal, his 5.22/261 lost to Gene Snow's 5.10/258. Hill got one of his best starting positions of the year at Columbus for the NHRA Springnationals. His 5.09/267.85 qualified #3. Unfortunately, a 6.48/250.27 lost to Shirley Muldowney's 5.26/268 in the first round, even with the great starting position. Eddie and his team followed the NHRA tour to Canada for the NHRA Grandnationals. His 5.22/268.25 qualified #10. He beat Bernstein in round one before smoking the tires in round two and losing to the race's eventual winner Ormsby in round two. Back in the US at Englishtown for the NHRA Summernationals, the team was unhappy. Hill wrecked two JP-1 engines while attempting to qualify. He finally got a 5.21/273.30 run-in to qualify #15. But the weekend ended miserably as an off pace 5.77/258.62 lost of Ormsby's 5.12/280 in the opening round. Another first-round loss followed at the NHRA Mile High Nationals. Eddie qualified #12 with a 5.52/253.37 but his 5.63/247.93 lost to Bernstein's 5.44/260. Sonoma was the next stop on the NHRA schedule, and Hill qualified #6 with a 5.11/275.73. He beat Muldowney in the opening round with a 5.28/270.67. In round two, the eventual winner, Ormsby, ran 5.11/286 to trailer Hill's 5.20/265.72. A week later (August 5), the teams were at Seattle for the NHRA Northwest Nationals, where Eddie qualified #11. His 5.19/270.10 beat Bernstein in the opening round but once again, Ormsby had his number in the second round, and Hill's 5.16/273.05 fell to Gary's 5.04/284. That was a better performance than he had at Brainerd for the NHRA Northstar Nationals, where a 5.14/265.64 qualified #9 and a 5.44/264.31 in round one lost to Frank Hawley's 5.12/271. Eddie really found something at NHRA Maple Grove, hitting an amazing 4.945/285.71 in a round one win. Those were his best times of the year. |

Notes: ET and speed confirmed by Jim Hawkins' DragStats. Also ran 4.944 low qualifier at Topeka 91. Photo from 1991 US Nationals. | Hill was at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals where he qualified #7 with a 5.03/277.94. Cory McClenathan broke against him in the first round, so Hill advanced with a 5.39/267.77. In round two, he got another easy win when Joe Amato had problems and a 5.92/271.08 moved him into the semifinals. There he met up with eventual winner Frank Bradley. Eddie’s 5.23/275.90 lost to Frank's 5.15/268. The team failed to qualify for the NHRA Arizona Nationals, but a 5.09/276.15 qualified #12 at Houston for the NHRA Supernationals. Unfortunately, Hill lost to Frank Hawley in the opening round. The "Pennzoil" car looked really strong at the NHRA Gatornationals. Eddie qualified #1 with a 4.92/281.69. He beat Jim Head's 5.16/268 in the first round, with a 5.02/271.90, but in round two the car sneezed a blower and lost to Don Prudhomme's 5.07/274. The next stop on the NHRA tour was at Atlanta for the Southern Nationals. A 4.96/282.66 qualified #4 and an even better 4.94 in round one, beat Jack Ostrander. A late leaving 5.00/277 lost to McClenathan's 5.03/280 in round two. At the NHRA Mid-South Nationals, Hill qualified #9 with a 5.08/277.60. In the opening round Gene Snow smoked the tires against him and a 5.70/269.78 advanced. In round two, Hill had more problems getting hooked up and his 5.62/271.73 lost to Joe Amato's 5.05/276. He then made a stop at Bristol for the IHRA Springnationals where he qualified #1 for the eight-car field with a 5.21/273.02. But in the first round, the car went up in smoke and he lost to Robert Reehl. He was back on the NHRA trail for the Springnationals in Columbus. His 5.06/281.33 qualified #3 and he beat Reehl's 5.17/266 in the first round, with a 5.10/274.30. But he continued having trouble getting past the second round of eliminations. This time Prudhomme stopped him with a 5.16/276 to Eddie's 5.18/274.47. They made the trip to Canada for the NHRA Grandnationals where qualifying was not a problem as only thirteen cars showed for the sixteen-car field. Still, Fuzzy Carter tuned Hill's car to a 5.14/270.83 to qualify #7. In round one, his opponent Snow got out on him and his 5.19/272.72 lost to the "Snowman's" 5.21/273. The NHRA Summernationals saw more of the same. Hill ran 4.98/282.39 to qualify #4 and a first-round 5.08/278.63 beat Ostrander's 5.36/278.1. But as usual, in round two a 5.09/275.73 fell to Prudhomme's 5.01/280. The team had to be frustrated as they still had not reached the semifinals this season. That changed at the NHRA Mile High Nationals. Eddie "only" qualified #7 with a 5.25/267.53, but his 5.22/268.81 beat Dick LaHaie’s 5.32/261 in the opening round. A round two 5.17/268.57 beat Kenny Bernstein's 5.27/274, but all good things must come to an end and in the semis, he smoked the tires to a 5.64/258.62 loss to Amato's 5.09/271. It was a step in the right direction. But at the next race, the NHRA California Nationals at Sonoma, Hill had trouble in the first round, and slowed to 6.11/165.47 in a loss to LaHaie’s 5.06/277. Hill qualified #10 at 5.07/282.92. Eddie had one of five cars that ran a "four" in qualifying at Seattle for the NHRA Northwest Nationals. His 4.99/284.18 got him the #5 spot for the show. He improved to 4.98/284.99 in the first round, over Snow's 5.07/256, but he lost in round two to Gordie Bonin who was driving for Gary Ormsby. |

Notes: Eddie and his wife, Ercie Hill, were fan favorites. He made the fans happy by winning the NHRA Winternationals at Pomona. It was Eddie's first win in eighteen months. He had qualified #1 at 4.80/301.00. A 4.88/296.15 defeated Rance McDaniel in the first round. Kenny Bernstein's 4.96/291 fell to his 4.79/301.70 in round two, and his 4.89/298.80 beat Mike Dunn's 4.93/293 in the semi-final. He faced Scott Kalitta in the final, and while Scott was smoking the tires, Hill ran 4.85/299.50 for the victory. Only fifteen cars showed at the NHRA Arizona Nationals, and Eddie's 4.75/299.80 qualified #3. He left early after smoking the tires to a 6.19/245 in the opening round that lost to Bernstein's 4.86/305. He also qualified well at Houston for the NHRA Slick 50 Nationals, where his 4.77/300.80 got him the #4 spot in the field. He slowed to 4.98/281.86 in the first round and lost to Pat Austin's 4.90/295. There were some tense moments during qualifying at Gainesville for the NHRA Gatornationals. Hill had not yet qualified going into the last session, and crew chief Fuzzy Carter took a wild swing at it and hoped for the best. Eddie's run looked strong before the engine through the blower belt. His coasting 4.86/250.41 was still able to qualify #9. He had more problems in round one, but his 6.57/188.28 still beat Bernstein's up-in-smoke run. In round two, Hill's 4.94/288.27 finished second best to Blaine Johnson's 4.89/295. Things didn't go well at Rockingham for the NHRA Winston Invitational. It was just an eight-car show, and his 4.95/284.45 was the first alternate. The team then went to Atlanta, where Hill's 4.83/293.62 qualified #2 for the NHRA Southern Nationals. But tire shake did him in in the first round, and he lost to Austin. The "Pennzoil" car was at Memphis for the NHRA Mid-South Nationals in the first week of May. As usual, qualifying was part of the story. Hill was on a qualifying run when the car went into a huge wheelstand. It landed hard enough to damage an A-arm. After replacing, he still ran 4.83/297.32 for the #5 spot in the field. In the first round, his 4.85/295.66 beat Connie Kalitta's 5.05/285. Once again, tire smoke did him in in round two, and his shut-off 6.86/128.92 lost to Mike Dunn's 4.94/291. He converted to a new 499 comp number, formerly 489. Jim Hawkins' DragStats confirm ET and speed. |
