And we built Mikes motor and were instrumental in the car. Your dad thought the race was a given for us. Well Mike beat Tex (my partner) in a close race. Your dad came over and shook our hand after that one.
Those were great times.

So nice to hear Art! I appreciate those stories. He became a bass fisher after leaving racing and became Angler of the year in 90-91...I preferred going racing but needless to say he made that boat motor go fast 😊
