    Sweet. You have several there that I did not know they did die cast replicas of. Like McCandless and Mr. Norm. Any pictures of them?

    I have one of the the looks raced Ferrari 355 Challenge Cars that Mattel did back about 2000. It has the driver name Stephen Earle on it. Also his 360 Challenge, both with Ferrari of Houston windshield banners. Hey Rob, will you autograph the 355 for me??????

    Neither of these two are autographed. I got to know Doc pretty well while at FoDallas but never asked him to sign anything.....

    Correct. They later went on to skin this car and use it to set some records at Bonneville.

    I'd spent a hour with him over the telephone discussing someone and what to do about them and the judgment he had against them. We were going to get together about that the week after he was killed. Terrible shame. However, he was nobody to cross.

    I did not know him personally but I heard the same thing, that he was no one to cross. He was a real innovator in his day.......

    I''m not sure about that.....All of the SoCal Tracks were trying everything to increase track gates but I always thought that C.J. Hart (Pappy) at Long Beach started that trend.
