Several of Grove's old buddies from his days of driving The Melrose Missle are trying to locate him. Any help will be appreciated.

We would appreciate any contact info you can provide. I was actually with Tommy when he made the first pass in the 1962 Melrose Missle at Vacaville raceway.

Tommy was a 2008 inductee in the East Coast Drag Times Hall of Fame in Henderson. He was at the reunion in 2008 and is living in the Charlotte area. You could contact Nancy Wilson, Director of Tourism, Vance County, NC.
