Nobby Hills, Team Owner / Crew Chief:

Nobby has been involved in drag racing since the sport started in Europe in the 1960's. Having owned and raced nitro burning Funny Cars since they started in this country in 1973, there is no one more experienced in this field.
Nobby is enthused about the new project and can't wait to get the car onto its rightful place, the drag strip! 

Owen Hayward, Driver / Technical Advisor:

Owen started working on the old Houndog cars in the 1960's before assuming the driving role in 1973, jumping straight into the hot seat of a Nitro Funny Car. Having gained the nickname "The Natural" for the way he mastered the skills of driving a fuel car, Owen drove through the team's most successful and popular period before retiring in 1984.
Owen is scheduled to undertake the initial driving duties before instructing and handing over the driving chores to his son, Simon.

Simon Hayward, Driver:

Another team member that comes from old drag racing stock, Simons father is Owen Hayward.

Simon has contributed getting the car to its current state by helping to manufacture parts in addition to helping at many of the shows.

His full time job will be of good use too.....he works for a well known Formula 1 team !

He is currently making preparations to obtain the necessary licences.

Richard Hayward, Crew:

Richard continues the family connection and works on the Funny Car as much as his full time job allows.

Making sure his younger brother is safe and sound in the cockpit will be part of his responsibilities when the car hits the strip.

Chris Blows,  Webmaster & Promotions:

I have known Nobby and Owen for nearly 30 years, helped with the running of the teams Supporters Club in the late 1970's early 1980's and worked as a crew member on the Challenger and Corvette Funny Cars in the mid 1980's.
In 2001, I set up the Walkin' The Dog website which details the history of the team. 
I will be maintaining and updating NHRacing.com and working with the rest of the team to help promote the car and its activities.
