For me it's Dandy Dick Landy. Dick was a great innovator for our sport. He lived & breathed dragracing .
I consider myself very lucky to have been able to have Mr. Landy come up to my place & document one of his old race cars, the 4 spd. Hemi Dart. He spent the weekend & shared many "war stories" with us. The best memory I have with him, was picking up Dick & his wonderfull wife Jean at the hotel with my 70 Hemicuda, driving around town with them for awhile, before finally getting them out to my place. Having Dick sitting there with a big smile on his face chompin on a cigar, while I was pulling some gears will go down as one of the best highlights for me.
