For sure! I don't know the guy on the left, but that's you Jack, not to leave you out, in the sweater vest. I only had the pleasure of meeting you once or twice.
That's a great shot. Can't leave out the car. It's the former Dick Moreland U/SA 65 Belvedere wagon. (Last I heard, it was owned by Jerry Stein, "Teachers Pet".) Mike did better with that car than he and Terry (and Ted Struse) did with the 440 and 340 cars that they ran. (Not for lack of trying.) He traveled the east coast and went to Indy with it. Don Himes (RIP) found it to be a great way to get to the concession stand during rain delays. It was a 9 passenger!
I met Mike around '82 when I started working for him. We drank beer, I mean, restored Mustangs! We partnered on a 71 RR D/SA for a couple years in the mid 90's. That was proof for sure that racing is way more than just racing! Very fun times. I happened to be a neighbor of Ted's and it all went down hill from there!
Thanks, Jack.
