I remember seeing him run at the NHRA World Finals at Ontario Motor Speedway back in I believe 79'.

That car belonged to Norman Marsdon. Norman said they bought it for Todd's son, but I guess Grandpa had so much fun sorting it out they couldn't pry him out of it. He was testing it at Tulsa last year when they first got it running, and Allan was cutting lights like he had never stopped driving.
