Stuart Hilborn (9 October 1917 – 16 December 2013), was born in Calgary, Canada. Hilborn was an automotive engineer.〔Batchelor, Dean (Dry Lakes and Drag Strips: The American Hot Rod ) p70〕 He became interested in amateur racing on dry lake beds before World War II. After the war, he began experimenting with ideas for mechanical fuel injection, and tested them on his own race cars. Only a few years later, his injectors were adopted by professional racers with notable success, including the first to break the 150-mile-per-hour mark.〔Kellogg, Ron (The Magnificent Stuart Hilborn )〕 Starting in 1949, Hilborn-equipped cars claimed dozens of victories at the Indianapolis circuit.〔(The American Hot Rod Foundation: Stuart Hilborn )〕 Hilborn eventually started a company to sell his injection systems to the public, which became popular with the hot rodders of the 1950s and 1960s. A classic mechanical Hilborn injection system is recognizable by its distinctive flared velocity stack intake pipes, rising straight up from each cylinder, flared at the open top, and usually polished or plated for a bright, shiny finish. Today, that company continues to provide performance products including mechanical and electronic fuel injection systems. Hilborn was inducted into the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Hall of Fame,〔(Stuart Hilborn 1996 Inductee )〕 as well as the HOT ROD Magazine Speed Parts Hall of Fame.〔Freiburger, David (Hilborn of Hilborn Fuel Injection - Where It All Began )〕 ==References==
