Thanks Tom for that photo of him and the '72 Winternationals winning Pro Stock Chevy Vega that launched my interest in drag racing (and Vega's) in the first place! My Vega may not have had a V8 in it, but I won my first championship (Bandimere Speedways "King Of The Hill" High School Championship) with it, plus five bracket races and a semi-final finish at the Div. V et finals of '79 with it...all the while admiring all that "Da Grump" did with his Vega's!!! I should've made that car a stocker...it was easier to work on and didn't need a computer to tune!

God Bless you "Grump", and Tom please keep the updates coming...he will be in my thoughts and prayers too!!!
