In late summer 1980 we ended up trading our car (less motor) to a local racer who in turn gave us a really sweet turnkey 1969 Don Long FED. It was a neat car that ran low 9's with its small block Chevy. While I really liked driving the car, Bob was a much better racer than I was. I just like going to the races and running the car up & down the track. Bob wanted to RACE.
Shortly after vacating the seat I moved to Florida. Skip ahead a few years and while working at a speed shop, I met a guy who built cars for movies. He asked me to help find a couple of dragsters for an upcoming film. While I thought it would be a great way to be around racing again, I fell in love with film making instead. Go figure.
