Pioneer drag racer Eddie Hill finally reached the culmination of a life-long goal: he had just clinched drag racing's most coveted prize, the 1993 Winston Top Fuel Championship. A feat accomplished by winning a record-tying 6 national events! When asked what his dream season meant to him, an emotional Hill replied, "You'd probably have to be 57 and want it so bad for so long to understand how I feel."
Automotive artist James Ibusuki commemorates this tremendous achievement with "Top Banana," a very special limited edition print. The dramatic painting depicts the famous Pennzoil dragster, "The Nuclear Banana," blazing off the line and into the night as Ercie and crew look on.

The setting is the Texas Motorplex, site of Hill's historical first 4-second run, and where he clinched the hard-won title.
Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity, this museum-quality lithograph is limited to 850 numbers. The image area is 17"x 26" with ample borders for framing. In addition to being signed and numbered by the artist, each lithograph is autographed by Eddie and Ercie Hill.
