Mike,

Great story and thanks.

You could have titled it, "Where Drag Racing legends met", but it sound like you are very humble considering your accomplishments that we here respect and admire.

Dr. Beshore...although we never met I did get to see the MPR Hemi car in Tom (Muskie) Stiel's garage while he was building your headers. Tom's craftsmanship is second to none and is also given all the credit in the world for building "All Three Team Checkmate Stock Eliminator Camaro's" from the ground up!

Steve, Ed, and Terry...All I can say is thanks again. Merc and I really do appreciate it!

Muskie is a great guy. Talented. Followed your cars and enjoyed. We need more experiences like yours to be spread around. Thanks again for taking the time. If I get to Palm Springs I will look you up. We have many common "friends". R.Beshore

I had the pleasure of racing Gas Rhonda in the very first Cobra back in late 62 or early 63 at Pomona. It was for a photo shoot of the new Cobra and I had a '63 Corvette. I never could beat that car. Wish I had some pictures.

I had the chance to meet Gas last year at the Fab Fords show at Knotts berry Farm in California. I never got to watch him race, but he was super nice and said he appreciated the young people and loves the cars of today.
