I remember Phil taking Chris Cassperson's GTO down the strip at PITP. The gas cap had been left off, and he spewed a gasoline stripe for probably 200 feet!

Met Phil at Norwalk at least 20 years ago. Always the life of the party and a great guy. Another good dude taken too soon. I'm sure he's doing massive burnouts in his 65 right now not worrying about taking out the spider gears..

Wow, I was just thinking about him. I set up his ring and pinion at Norwalk one year after he broke the carrier. Great guy.
RIP Phil.

RIP Phil.

And I think he blew that rear up again on his next pass too. Bought a posi from the swap meet to keep racing.
