That is thoughtful of him, but a Monte Smith Tribute Car ought to be a yellow 1969 GTX with a massively sprayed big block Mopar engine.  That is exactly what I was thinking.

And Monte didn't really care for Drag Week. Said he only went because Holley paid him to go.

They were friends, it's how they met, and continued their relationship from there. That's the way James thinks of him, and I think it's great. Any way you look at it, it is a tribute to one of the greats. I don't see anyone else doing anything like this. I think it's a great idea.

Very cool, Goad comes off like a pretty good guy on the show and actions, maybe a bit hot tempered,( probably deservedly with the stuff going on behind the scenes on the show thats not aired), if I lived nearby hiom, I would offer to help some on the build, I never talked to Monte myself, but always respected his opinions and all that knowledge.

I think it's pretty cool. I know Monte did a lot of work for him.

I agree! I will say Big (mouth) chief couldn't put James's helmet on! Look forward to seeing the tribute car @ DW. Don
