First met Russ in 1959 at Detriot Dragway he was track Champion in Stock in 1960 or 61 with a black 1960 Chevy 2-door post car 283 230 hp as I remember. Story goes the Champ got a colored TV as top prize,a big deal at that time but when Gil Cohon presented the prize it was a Black & White picture but the TV housing was colored. Couldn't have met a nicer guy RIP
