Couple more, one with a trivia question:

Can anyone name the guy in the center and the guy on the left. One is the Driver of the Mopar Top Fueler, and the other is very well known.

I'll go thru the pics Ive got and post some more in a seperate thread later. Heres a give away and a hint. The Driver is Mike Dunn, he now does the broadcast for NHRA on ESPN2. The other guy is in a band that has been popular since the 70's. Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

[357windsor]

Is the band Aerosmith?

[Strtracer]

Is the band Aerosmith?

Nope, not Aerosmith. I was really suprised, cause on stage this guy looks big, but hes only about 5'5", but he plays a mean Bass, oops another hint.

Funny question, why is Bass pronounced base, when talking about guitars, but Bass(as in the fish) when talking about low frequency sound.

[Strtracer]

Nobody's got a guess?

Hint: Excellent guitar work, and rotating front men, crazy on and off stage, some people are purists and say the original was the best, but most think the second(and current) version has been the best (and most successful, which is true)

[1Quick88]

not a clue..what kind of music?

[Strtracer]

Rock music, some would say heavy metal, but thats not a fair discription, but the guitar work is second to none(lead is considered to be one of the best there is), excellent drummer, and the vocals with the current lead(he was also their second lead) are fantastic. Multi platinum records, each of there vocalists has had successful solo careers.

[BigWheelinBubba]

Back from the dead!!!

The band is Van Halen, the guy is Alex Van Halen. :rock:

Michael Anthony.
Mike Dunn was way obvious for anyone that follows NHRA at all.

Ding ding ding, we have a winner. As I was standing there, Im lookin at this guy, like damn he looks familiar, took about 5 minutes, then, oh, hes alot shorter than he looks on stage. Definitely cool though, hes been a friend of Dunns for years, the BS with me for about 10 minutes and signed T shirts for our whole group. Thats one thing I love about NHRA, the drivers and crew are right there, and when they have time, they are more than willing to bs with the spectators, not like NASCAR, where you cant get anywhere near them

[MCM]

Damn. Just saw this thread now. I knew that was Mike Dunn the second I saw him! They need to get him back in a fuel car - very talented driver. I also knew it was Michael Anthony as soon as you said he was in a band popular in the 70's. He was also at a Joliet race a few years back - seems to be a big drag race fan. The dude on the right kinda looks like Pro Stock driver Allen Johnson.

Nice pics Strtracer.

Thanks

Dunn was offered a contract to drive this year and turned it down. He stated that he was already under contract to ESPN, and doesnt believe in backing out of contracts. A man of his word!
