I think the weirdest place I ever tore down was at the Mile Highs in 1978. Broke out in the Stock Eliminator final against Steve Hahn. Told Jim Dale I did not want to see Steve's engine or car he was good as far as I was concerned. Jim said I don't care, I want to see both of you. We tore down right in front of the water box where you come out of the staging lanes about midnight or 1 am.. Not much for lights there. We had lots of help from a couple of fellow racers. Seemed like there several better places to tear down. Think that is the only time in my career we did not tear down in a garage somewhere either at the track or a car dealership. Had they let me tear down in a lighted trailer; I would have jumped at the opportunity. NHRA can be strange group on occasion depending on who is running the show.
