I'm the person that banned him for life from National Trail Raceway.
are you able to tell the story? Oh, where to begin...there were the things everyone saw, like him jumping on the track in full costume while cars were running, but it goes waaaay further. Like showing up after hours at a bracket race, doing donuts in the pits and getting his butt kicked by some pizzed-off racers. Final straw: The week of the 2016 Nats he is across the street from the track at our barn getting washed at an outside water pipe, buck nekkid. We ran him off. Then at the Nats he got into a argument with a lady helping with parking and then pushed her. That was it. Once he laid hands on my staff I was done with him. I took a sheriff deputy with me and banned him for life. Wow, he was not happy. Going to hunt me down and make my life miserable, etc, etc. Too bad, really, as I found the "Captain Mopar" character an amusing side note to the Nats. Wish it had worked out differently.

The first car I purchased in HS was a 1959 Plymouth Savoy - flathead with 3 on the tree - 4 door - in basic black.... Paid $175 ... that was 1969 ...rebuilt the engine, new clutch, odds and ends -- drove it a year and sold it to a young guy for $200.
That car was interesting - the dashboard lighting, tube AM radio....the biggest issue was the transmission shift linkage which could hang up without warning --- had numerous instances where I was stopped at a traffic light on a hill - and I could not get the car into first gear - same issue when shifting from first to second ---- no matter how many time I took apart or adjusted the linkage - it acted up without warning.
I was happy to let it go to a good home and even happier to take delivery of my factory ordered brand new 727 equipped 1970 Plymouth Duster 340 in June 1970!
Like the women I have dated --- Always looking for a better deal ....
