The man himself.. This is the car he got hurt in. Lost part of his foot because of a trans explosion. Broke car in half, Lions march '7O




Here is a great looking Ford Funny car. Ran a 427 wedge for power.




You will rarely see me posting anything to do with chevies because I do not like them but, this 'Vette is simply bitchin.

Here is Don Gays last funny car. Very pretty paint. To my knowledge, this car never ran Pontiac power. If anyone knows different, post pics.
