He had that bone growing disease? He looks like a small version of Andre the Giant.

He was about 6'5" , 260, but did not look that heavy. Big frame. Pituitary gland problem and cause of tumor that took him.

I went to school with a guy here in NZ who had the same issue
He passed in his mid 30s
Gentle Giant, hell of a nice guy.

Yeah it was sad. Because of his voice and features some thought he was retarded. To the contrary he was a smart guy.

Dont know how or why the dual colored spray bombed wheels ever happened....... Wish it hadnt

The wheels happened as a way to tell how much wheel spin there was off the line. Ugly or not it was functional.

......I remember first seeing it in the early 60's....... :pop

......may have been the Ramchargers that started it
but a lot of racers were doin' it....... :rub

........theory of the day was that 10% wheel spin was essential for
a good launch........... :beer
