Eddie got 57 months and Mike got 24 months in prison after both pleaded guilty to numerous crimes.
Ed admitted to charging $9 million in personal expenses to the business for example. |

Re: Where are they now ?
Not to mention the IRS took all their race cars and transporters and sold them at auction, a Dallas company bought them I think.

Re: Where are they now ?
John Friel was badly injured in a work related accident is what I was told and that was quite a while ago. John was a good guy and well liked. Another friend of mine did some car work for him and they were pretty good friends. His Dart was nice and fast for the era........
He was building a Lebaron at one time......I saw that car up in Brockton Mass at a chassis shop.... I haven't seen John for many years.....

Re: Where are they now ?
I lost track of Steve Bagwell many, many years ago. Warren Barnett gave me some info that I will not repeat here because I can not be sure of its accuracy . I do know Steve's son went on to become "Buff Bagwell" of WWF fame and still wrestles today. What happened to Cornbread? Jim

Re: Where are they now ?
There was a magazine article about Ray Barton's shop a couple of years back, John Friel's Dart was in one of the pix taken in the shop. I was thinking it may have been there being updated for a possible return? Most amazing wheelstands of its era in my humble opinion.
