Engineer Soldiers from all over the world attended portions of the 2008 Engineer Regimental Training Conference in St. Louis and Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri this week. One of the most popular spots in the large industry exhibit area in the America's Center in downtown St. Louis was the presence of "Hot Rod" Fuller, driver of a Caterpillar sponsored dragster. Rod Fuller scored his seventh career victory by edging rival Tony Schumacher in the final round of the 12th annual O'Reilly Midwest Nationals near St. Louis last Sunday. It was the 20th career NHRA national event victory for the popular driver who also earned 13 wins in the Super Comp and Super Gas categories. Fuller autographed handouts for engineer Soldiers and told many how proud he was of their service.
