Notes: "Ah yes, this photo. Clark Marshall, who was the promoter, rented the cape and the crown. This is Puyallup, 1966; we were supposed to race against Sid [Waterman] and his car; Ronnie Hampshire was the driver. We never got a chance to run the race because it got so foggy we couldn’t even see the finish line. Behind my car is the Higgins brothers, who were the partners on that first Chrysler car; they’re both dead now.rnrn“L.C. Taylor, who was a sports writer who wrote mostly for Drag Sport Illustrated, gave me ‘the King’ name in 1965. I can’t say I didn’t like the name: ‘King of the Northwest.’ When I won the [NHRA] world championship in 1973, I changed it to ‘King of the World.’ “ (Info from Phil Burgess, NHRA.com interview with Ruth, referring to the photo in this entry and his nickname).
