Gotta agree with Mr. Taylor, I never got the chance to see many of the guys mentioned but "The Good Ol Charlie Brown" wagon was an eye catcher and not who you wanted to see in the other lane! Due to the high RPM and exact same routine every pass I always could tell when Mike was cleaning the tires and staging without ever seeing the car. The 3600lb.wagon would have been the best advertisment for driveline parts money could buy lol! I started going to the IHRA races in 1981 and Mike had been running the car long before then and still does now. Mike is a great guy and his acomplishments tell the story. Don Jackson
