  • anybody need a hand in ta or top fuel give me a holler..

  • al and ellen hoffman ...al was good friends with my uncle al would always sneek off and hang out with us when we went to nat events.man i miss everything about racing..

  • @IDFK303 He was dirty, he was gritty, he was angry. When he wasn't angry, he had a smile that made you smirk. Every time he shut force down I was cheering for him. "GO GET HIM YOU DIRTY SON OF A BITCH!"

  • Al Hofmann looked EXACTLY the way a drag racer should look. He had a "racer's face" and always seemed to be a bit of an outsider. A nitro version of The Man In Black. The sport lost a lot with his retirement and has yet to find his replacement.

  • The ending was classic Al Hofman. After beating force. Up on the roof prolly saying this is how its done. R.I.P. Al we miss you.

  • Great video man, Hofmann was always my favorite

  • I met Al once at the Turkey Rod Run while I was selling some parts. He walked up with his sun glasses and a cold Budweiser, I couldn't place his face at that moment, when he started walking away I remembered him and I asked him what Nitro Methane meant to him and he turned back and said " Only when its on fire". He was one cool character. RIP

  • great video 

  • Al Hofmann got his ass kicked too much by John Force so he quit! :p

  • woow amazing he lived so long some really major engine blow-ups in his drag racing career! he came down under too! remember that well... we miss u big al !
