Tech, do you remember the chopped 33 or 34 coupe that used to run at Dahio? It was mid engined and a real drastic chop and I hated that car. The driver set where the engine would normally be and he sat low and and up against the firewall and I couldn't see him, made it a real PITA to flag.Ken Thomas

I have a very foggy memory of it Ken. I guess my most vivid memory of those times would be Ohio George Montgomery's baby blue '33 Willys hitting a pothole in the strip surface. Can't remember if he broke an axle, but I do remember that I have never seen anybody that mad, before or since.
Hey, look at that, I just passed 11,000 posts.

He was an arrogant SOB and I don't think I ever say him smile or say a kind word to anyone. I'll never forget time time he unloaded and was getting ready to make a run when Jeg Sr showed up with his A/A and George put the Willy's back on the trailer and left in a huff.

Congrats on the milestone.Last edited by NTFDAY; 03-15-2015 at 02:13 PM.
