With his testing crash and passing away from it, that was the beginning of the end for 1/4 racing. His death, brought a bunch of new safety features for both funny car and top fuel dragsters. But in the end Eric's passing and Doug's passing were the two catalysts racing to 1000 feet and probably never returning to 1/4 mile racing any longer.
Excellent job, man. I have heard the name in passing before, but, never really knew the story until now. Real shame he died so young.. But at least it was in something he loved. I hope you do more vids like this going forward. I'm sticking around!
I had forgotten about him hitting the wall during the Gatornationals the day before the fatal incident... I have doubts it did, but I wonder if that was a factor into what happened.
Eric was the nicest person that would take time to talk to all fans. Taken to early
Great video. He needs to be remembered!
What a great competitor and human being Eric was…
