I believe his name was Bob...... he was a member here for a while.....Congratulations

Hi Tom/ I don’t mean to be in your business..... I was just reading in the “for sale” section about the pending sale of the 409 block.... reading that you’re having a health concern...... but also that you’re home from the hospital..... I hope all is well......... hoping for a fast and full recovery

Tom, Dave did a great job on that car. He worked at a Chevy assembly plant. I raced NSS with him. He really had that car flying.
