Going out on a limb here…
I used to live outside of Houston, Crosby specifically. My dad was a Chemical Engineer for Exxon, and his race partner was head of Engineering at Derrick there. His name is Todd Horst, is he still around?
There is not a Todd here, but I’ll ask about him. There is a guy named Ron that does a ton with old cars, he owns a gasser and a rat rod and I’m pretty sure was into racing.
ya i know Mike, just matter of time and a lot thinking involved.
Any word on how long the lay off will be still?
