This was a 2+ year project. We'll have it on loop here at Carlisle for people to watch. If you're a fan of 60's and 70's drag racing, I think you'll enjoy the content. As we go forward, we'll continue to build out more content, so always open to feedback on what you'd want to see. Special thanks to so many people who provided us never before seen photos and video's for us to use. I was blown away by the support. Valeo Films did a great job and I'm looking forward to what people think! Please subscribe and like our channel, it helps a lot with relevancy on YouTube. The goal is to get this to iTunes or Netflix so people can consume anywhere they want. For now, YouTube. It's 4 episodes so you can pick your point of interest if the earlier or later stuff isn't your thing, but I hope you'll eventually watch all of it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwiZKEJK4O8Enjoy!

Your Dad is a treasure and a pillar of what Mopar and drag racing was back in the day, and evolved to today because of his hard work. The Part 1 video is top notch. Make everyday a great day with him --- and take in all you can - we learned over the last couple years that we can take nothing for granted, especially good health and plans into the future (as we age). Thank you for sharing this rich history of his ascent in the sport and his personal triumphs given all the challenges growing up.

If your father was the original “Mr. 4-Speed”, when did Ronnie Sox become “Mr. 4-Speed” as well? Forgive me if the answer is in the documentaries, as I’m just starting to watch them.

Ronnie was “the boss” dad was Mr 4 Speed. Thanks for clarifying it. I had it confused for many years.
