Bobby,

I was just a punk freshmen in high school when this came out. I saw a note in National Dragster the other day about this and asked Phil Burgess if he had a copy, which he forwarded to me. I never saw Shepherd wind through a five speed in the Vette but later on when he was driving the Shioleno & Colemen (sp) G/MP Camaro. Seems like I always missed RMS when they would come to Eastex Dragway for those monthly Modified meets.

Sorry Longbob but I had to reduce it in size just to post it. If anyone wants a copy through e-mail, send me your e-mail address. You can read it much better there.

Hey Todd, I hate to give up my age but I went to several of the old Eastex modified meets and saw Lee as well as Pete Smith, Raymond Martin, Sam Cunningham, Crawford Benham, Earl from the Wop Shop, David Nickens, Dennis Faerman, Eddie Conrad and many many more. You did indeed miss the good old days. Wayne

Wayne,

Long time, no hear.

I recognized all those names except Sam Cunningham. What did he drive? Of course you have to add to this list Jeff Linenger, Bear Barilleaux, Lindley Isonhood, George Owens, Weldon Bailey, Ronnie Young and who could forget Willis Ragsdales' B/SR everytime that he yanked a gear.

Hey, late congrats on class win at No Problem!!

Hate to hi-jack this thread, but Todd do you remember Robert "Speedy" Hudson? Big guy, raced around the area with the yellow and black Nova. I heard he passed away yesterday. It's on www.bracketrash.com and www.housonarearacing.com.
