"Tom Hoover" from page 3 must have been THE T.H. aka Mr. Hemi.

Sam,

I'm pretty certain that they are NOT one and the same. I believe the drag racing Tom Hoover was from Minnesota, and raced actively well into the 1980's.

Tom Hoover and his dad were in fact from Minnesota. It was a long time ago but I thought he was in fact known as Mr. Hemi. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

Tom Hoover was an engineer with Chrysler and was part of the group of C. Engineers that put together the "Ramchargers" racing team. So it was logical to me that this may be the same fella. Also, photos in this thread mention that he was running a Chryler product motor in his car

Tom Hoover from Minn. drove a funny car into the 80's named SHOW TIME. His dad tuned Jack Watts funny from Alerton,Ia in the early 90's he was 83 at the time. Two diff guys. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif
