FEEDBACK FRIDAY - JERRY ECKMAN IS READY TO TALK
FEEDBACK ARTICLE - JERRY ECKMAN IS READY TO TALK
WE (NHRA & Fans) DREW THE LINE (no nitrous). Jerry Eckman knew the bottle was in the engine and he turned on the ignition. The guilty verdict and a harsh punishment was levied on Jerry Eckman. I think it is time for us to RE-DRAW the line. Let us take a sheet of paper and DRAW a line down the middle. On the left let us note Jerry's bad mistake and on the right side of the paper let us note the many thrills and chills that he gave the thousands of fans and spectators by risking his life like all of our drivers do. Also let us note Jerry Eckman's clear love of his sport and his many fans. Eckman, I believe is not asking us to "forget" but is asking us (NHRA and the Fans) to look at the right side of the paper. - Frank Bacheler, Harborton, Va
