Funny, back then, it didn't seem special. If i only knew what was going to happen to drag racing, i would have paid more attention.

He would drive his little orange 70 Dart Swinger from Sioux Falls (that he bought new), jack it up, swap on the slicks, and go racing. Always thought that was pretty cool. Believe he passed on around eight/nine years ago.
