NHRA has finally got around to recognizing one of the great innovators of Sportsman Racing (Stock, Super Stock & Comp).

I (and we) have had the luck and privilege to have been around this innovator when he came out to OCIR with a card table and 60' timers and he sat on the starting line with hand written time slips to compare torque converter performance and that was the tip of the iceberg.

But that was how he did it because performance mattered.

Marv you are like a good Scotch that gets better every year.

It is fitting that they honored him at a Sportsman ONLY race.

Thanks for all of your input over the years,

Bob
