A true legend. I got to meet him at Ontario Motor speedway back in 81 I believe...he was very gracious to me. Unlike some of the other so- called professionals who would not even acknowledge my existence.
Yes I got to meet him at an event in Gainesville. I bought a diecast Swamp Rat dragster that he signed and took a photo with me! Extremely nice man! I need to go down to Ocala and visit his museum!
First time I met him was the 94 at Indy. Slight rain delay and wandering around and went to the circle track. He was out there in his trailer and not many people around, chatted a minute, got the pic, and bought his shirt showing his run for Congress that year, which he also signed. A prized shirt, the very few times of wearing it to the US Nats gets a great deal of looks and comments. A great legend and have met him quite a few times since, always makes time for his fans
Thanks for that, always enjoy old pics of old dragsters.
Pics of Don’s cars makes it even better.
What a walk down Memory Lane!
My favorite of all time. A national treasure he is.
Thanks Steve GREAT tribute to the MAN!!!!! 👍👍
