Well in those days I was but a pup and it never would have happened.But the story had a happy ending, he said that the guy that presently had the car was restoring it. Also he said that he was considering building another "63". You go Arnie.

Back in 1996 at Palmdale Raceway in Cali I spoke to Arnie about the what happend to cause the Tameless Tiger wreck. I dont remember the specifics but he was sore as hell at Arnie Behling who was driving when he crashed it. Beswick had told Behling to fix something or other before racing the Tameless Tiger again & Behling didnt listen to Beswick. I think he crashed it at night and that might have been the thing Beswick had told him not to do, which was to race that car at night.
