Sad news and thank you for posting the link Keith. I am pleased that they acknowledged his Western Canadian Heritage.

His name will be forever linked with high performance engines - Indy - Sprint Cars - Supermodifieds - LSR - Dragsters - and on and on.

Rest in Peace Stu Hilborn. Condolences to Family and Friends

Very interesting read. I knew of his mechanical injection, but never read up on him. Very cool to see he was born in Canada!
