RIP Mike. I had the pleasure to meet Mike Keown and Conway Witten the first time I went to Bowling Green and Indy. I had problems with my engine at the Bowling Green race. Conway found us a place to pull the engine and we took the engine to Mikes shop. Mike worked around the clock to rebuild the engine. He honed the block and went through the heads. We started at about 10 am and finished about 8 am the next morning. Conway got the parts for us. What a great bunch of guys.
Mike built some of the fastest stuff out there. Now him and John L. Are bench racing again.
