My uncle, Barrie Poole, was the first Canadian to ever win a N.H.R.A. drag raging major "National" event. He was selected as Chatham, Ontario's "Man of the Year," a title whose previous recipients included Baseball Hall of Fame pitcher Ferguson Jenkins. Barrie even has a few cards, issued by Fleer in the early 1970's.
