Hollis Jones, owner of City Suburban Auto Parts in Joliet, IL, "has loved the sport of drag racing since we met", said Larry Blackman. "This guy just loves going fast and I love watching him do it!"
Hollis and Larry have been friends for over 40 years and that's a comraderie that won't ever quit. Larry painted the car for Hollis back in the '90's and again in 2008. "He just loves white, and as hard as we tried to get him to add some color to that car, he just wouldn't budge on that", Larry said of the now 70 year old drag car driver. "Even his wife couldn't talk him in to putting even a stripe on the pure white car".
We've since found out that Hollis sold his auto parts empire and is now driving that beautiful car full time! We wish him the best of luck in his new endeavor.
Drive safe, Hollis! You're the best!
