Fools Rush In
There’s an old song I love called “Fools Rush In.” The first line is “Wise men say only fools rush in.” The rest of the song is nothing but One. Big. But. So, I’m gonna stop there.

This time was in 1997 and was the day after one of our worst days racing. When we decided that we were going funny car racing, Bobby called Harry. Harry was an acquaintance at the time but became Bobby’s mentor and in many ways, just like a dad. He was an NHRA national record holder and knew his stuff. He gave Bobby advice like “Sit in a funny car with the body down first. You’ll know right away if you…
