Don Nicholson
Don Nicholson (May 28, 1927 - January 24, 2006) was an American drag racer from Georgia.〔 He raced in the 1960s and '70s when there were few national events. The National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) estimates he won 90 percent of his match races.〔 As of 2002, he held the record for the most number of categories in which he reached a final round (won or took second at an event): Funny Car, Pro Stock, Super Stock, Competition Eliminator, Stock, and Street.〔 He was nicknamed "Dyno Don" after he was one of the first drivers to use a chassis dynamometer on his cars in the late 1950s, a skill that he learned while working as a line mechanic at a Chevrolet car dealer.〔
==Racing career==
Nicholson was born at Halltown, Missouri but was raised at Pasadena, California.〔 While in high school, he joined the United States Navy which wiped out his many speeding tickets.〔 Nicholson began racing in jalopies on oval tracks in the late 1940s before moving to the dry lakes at the Bonneville and El Mirage.〔〔 He was already an experienced driver when drag strips began opening in Southern California.〔 During the 1950s, Nicholson was a manager at Service Chevrolet.〔 Nicholson got his nickname "Dyno Don" by being the first person to be trained on Service's dynamometer (dyno).〔 In 1961, Nally Chevrolet lured Nicholson to move his family to Georgia by giving him his own dyno shop and race car.〔
