During the Goodguys 16th Nitro Nationals in Las Vegas, Marvin (Marv) Riftkin's 89th Birthday party was hosted by the Nitro Thunder family.

Jack Harris and crew give respect where respect is deserved. Marv has done more for drag racing than most people could ever imagine. It's great to still have him with us.

The NT Womens League (or Deputyettes) are well known for their baking abilities (i.e. the famous star cookies) and never miss a chance to do up a cake or two.

Although Marv (far left) sold his M&H Tire Co. he still has an active role in the new tire development.

Mary Ann Robison serves Marv a piece of his cake as Billy Robins and Jack wait for theirs.
