He to gave it up. Oh well its all history now. I was razzin you about "Madder".

Its all good Terry. I didn't know Kenny was a tech guy. No wonder he was so sneaky fast ...And Hank and his wife were two of the nicest folks in racing . The highlight of IHRA was the Top Stock days. It actually looked for a short period as if they were going to give NHRA a run for the money ... But your right...its all history now
