Jimmy Nix
If there was ever a drag racer who never lost his passion for the sport, it was Jimmy Nix. Jimmy was doing what he loved to do most-race fast cars. He adapted to every transition the sport encountered. In his final seasons, he was always among the quickest and fastest top fuel contestants, without major corporate backing. During his career, Nix set records for different classes: top fuel, top gas, A/Gas dragster, and Super Factory Experimental. He won numerous individual events, including the 1965 NHRA Winternationals and the 1966 NHRA Springnationals. In 1965 he pushed the top fuel mph record to 208.32 and, 25 years later, became the 11th driver to join Top Fuel Four Second Club.
