Met a Drag Racing Legend - Page 4

My first wife and I use to go to the Gas House at least once a week.
I had first met Mr. Rhonda when I raced my new stingray against his new Cobra. We match raced at a private session at Pomona. I raced him often that year and never could beat him. I wish I had some pictures. I've tried to get some from Ford but nobody remembers that far back.

Legends indeed.

Sorry if it's a re-post, but I ran across this the other night. Nice interviews with Gas Ronda, and you'll never guess who won F/X!

I still have one!
