The first time I saw Mike was at Ennis when the car was red and he did a giant wheelstand and smashed the oil pan. I saw him and another guy under the car in the pits after that. All I saw was legs sticking out so I didn't bother them.

I bought some Manley I-beam Hemi rods and a couple of roller cams from him. He gave me some advice on running a SS Hemi. I ran out of money before getting one built. I never met the guy in person, but he was very friendly and helpful by e-mail. I'm losing all my Hemi advisors like Mike and Jeff from MCH. RIP Mike.
