He raced a lot at the long gone Aquasco drag strip in Southern Md. The first time I saw him race was against Ronnie Sox's 1964 Comet and he whipped his butt in a 2 out of 3 match race that Sunday. I had heard he outran Sox the night before at Cecil County. I talked to him a lot before his passing from cancer and he was a great down to earth guy and his kids turned out to be good people also.

Thanks for the correction, thought it was a nova but then I'm old. They showed up one night at Atco with the car on a flat bed truck and they had to remove the car by hand because the ramps wouldn't hold it. Half the pits helped. He was indeed a nice guy.
