Seemed like every week I was being looked at and harrassed about everything from the air cleaner to the rear end. And to make it worse his wife (boy was she HOT! ) handed out et slips at Aquasco. Funny thing, I parked up on the hill and played cards with Perzan, Samuels, Johnny Walker, Buggs Terry and the crew. If one of them knocked off Gene she didn't say a word but when it was me world war three broke out. I got my revenge though. He took the Mustang to Daytona in 67 to defend his 66 win. I made a home made tow bar and drug that 442 to Daytona followed him to staging and wore his a## out. Then went on to win the whole thing. Revenge is so sweet. ( Did I say his wife was HOT!! ?)

Heh Heh yeah he bitched a lot but if you had a wife like his you would to. You know who she was "Doing" dont you? He drove a black factory stock 66 mustang. The kid they had wasnt his. Those were some crazy times.
