My family and I would like to thank everyone for their kind words and prayers, from tears of sadness earlier today to tears of hapiness after reading this, knowing I have friends like this site has brought. My dad was 84 and was healthy up until 6 months ago all I can say is I sure hope I can live the life he did.
My dad wasnt a gearhead, Im the only crazy one in the family but he would like going to Union Grove Dragstrip with me and my wife (girl friend back then)back when we spent most our weekends there. I remember having a 1967 Mustang I would drive to the track it ran 13.20 at the time, every once in a while he would want to take it down the track, one time he did and I was waiting for him to come down the return road when he didnt show up I went down to the end of the quarter mile and there he was he broke my car. When he did something he always did it right he was shifting from 3rd to 4th and ended up going back into 2nd. If anybody wonders what happens when somebody does this I can tell you. 2 spun mains wiped out the clutch disc and welded second gear to the main shaft. He sure felt bad and never wanted to drive my car again back then being only 18 it was a real tragedy now what a great memory. Well thanks again and everyone have a Happy New Year
