Tommy Ivo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tommy Ivo (born April 18, 1936 in Denver, Colorado), also known as "TV Tommy," is an actor and drag racer, who was active in the '60s racing community. In the late 1950's Ivo raced a twin (side by side) Buick engined dragster. It was unique in appearance and won numerous races. Later he designed a four-engine dragster, but the National Hot Rod Association ruled it the first "exhibition" dragster, so he couldn't race it.

- Ranked No.25 on the National Hot Rod Association Top 50 Drivers, 1951-2000.
