Taz,
Great memories. That does suck about letting that perfect ride go but at least you had it at one time and sounds like your H2 isn't far off. So Olathe was the place to race at the point? My uncle, R J Smith, was racing at that time. Don't know for sure what class he started in but over the years worked his way up. Ended up #9 in the world for Top Alcohol Dragster in one of his final years racing, early to mid '90s if I recall correctly. It was always a hobby and not a carrier for him but he sure sunk a ton of money into it and loved every minute of it. Really became a family thing, his wife was the team manager and his boys eventually became part of the crew as they got older. As I recall he did have Hoosier sponsoring him with tires and Castrol sponsoring him with oil. Never raced myself, but it sure was a great time going to KCIR or the new track in Topeka and being right there in the middle of it all. Where did you go to school in KC?
