The first jet-powered dragsters ever to visit the Kingdom scorched
their way up the newly-opened Jeddah Raceway recently. Driven by
American Chuck Haynes — the cars’ owner — and Australian Gary
Miosevich, the jet cars left the large contingent of spectators shocked.

Four-time World Champion
Shirley Muldowney has been hospitalized in Michigan due to an infected left
ankle.  The ankle, which was surgically fused following her
devastating 1984 crash, has been strained due to two knee replacement
operations, both of which also ultimately resulted from that earlier
accident.  The latest of these, on her right knee, apparently
placed additional pressures on her left leg, and may have been the cause of the
infection.  Muldowney will spend at least the next three days at
Oakwood Hospital in Dearborn, where she’s been treated with a veritable cocktail
of antibiotics, which are being administered via an intravenous
drip.

It was to be the Thanksgiving weekend to remember and a celebration of 25 years
of power and performance.  There were
vehicles that produce 5 G’s of force with over 8,000 horsepower. They could
clear the ¼ mile in just five seconds. The one thing that wasn’t clear was the
weather. 

After battling last night and succumbing to

dumped on it, exceeded 5 hours. The Murray’s Speed & Custom Mountain Dew
Citrus Nationals would ultimately have the racing postponed until a later
date.

The Murray’s Mountain Dew Citrus Nationals, presented by the Gater 98.7fm and

triple-engine Shockwave Jet Truck and two Wheelstanders thrilled the audience.
