Our story lead-in shows several time shots of ‘Humble Jon’ Hoisington. The Orange County resident spent his younger weekends making a mark on the OCIR Brackets, and has kept a hot hand with his supercharged Nova, tagged appropriately, ‘Humble II’.

The middle shot is certainly recognizable if you knew Jon during the ‘70s. This NOW photo is from a Garden Grove Car Show just last year.

The photo of a gas Funny Car reminds this writer of when Bill Doner and Steve Evans wanted to have 100 Funnies at OCIR. So they created an eligible gasoline group from bracket racers to help complete their quest. We didn’t work on Jon’s ride, but we sure did help Jerry Moreland’s effort.
