Late 1980
With rooster tails pluming and Rolls-Royce engines screaming, Pennzoil boats dominate unlimited hydro-plane racing from the late '70s thru the '80's. Miss Budweiser and the Atlas Van Lines Special become world champions. The record says it all - virtually every unlimited hydro-plane competition in this period is won with Pennzoil's specially blended Grade 70. Meanwhile, at NHRA, Eddie Hill, in the Pennzoil Top Fuel Dragster, makes drag racing history when he clocks 4.990 at the Texas Motorplex and becomes the world's first driver to cover the quarter mile in less than 5 seconds.
