Import Drag Racing Hall of Fame!
Who belongs? so far i can think of only a handful who deserve to be in hall of fame for obvious reasons! Who else should be there?
1. Steph Papadakis (obvious reasons)
2. John Lingefelter (RIP) first and only to run a 6 second pass with a 4cy if im not mistaken! what almost 3 years ago?
3. Abel iberra (kind of fallen off a little but is a true legend)
4. Ed and Ron (you all know who im talking about)
5. Jojo callos ( like abel has kind of fell off but this dude won a **** load of races 2001,2002 and 2003
6. George iouanna(sp) Probally the best tuner out there and oh yeah he also won a **** load of races as a driver as well! Probally will win many more in the future!

Shaun Carlson...Without him, how would Steph had made it to the Top. His Innovation has led most to where they are now..
Jason Whitfield...10.20's on a single cam 7 or 8 years ago??? Enough said
I'm hoping I'm not the only one to remember Frank Choi... With out him, there truly wouldn't be import racing.. He is our Wally Parks..

the bergenholtz's didn't win until this year, but i would have put them in the hall of fame before that. Sometimes, you don't need to win to prove your point

Re: Import Drag Racing Hall of Fame! (anttdog)
i think the first west coast east coast first to do anything is hogwash..... it should be the first period, regardless of geographical location.
some of the names i read do not deserve to be considered, not going to mention because i don't want to get flammed.
i think drivers to be considered are:
Abel(1st ballot hall of fame)
Steph(1st ballot hall of fame)
Lisa(1st ballot hall of fame)
all the rest and i may be missing a few names, everyone i would not vote on their first time up.
Brilliant minds:
Frank Choi-BOTI
Micheal Ferrea-IDRC
I think the hall of fame should be broken down according to import makes:
HONDA
TOYOTA
MITSUBISHI
NISSAN
Mazda
