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.

Not to mention the IRS took all their race cars and transporters and sold them at auction, a Dallas company bought them I think.

Ken, John was at Etown this weekend, he was talking to Georgie Vignogna. Charlie comes to the races once is awhile, he and Gulius usually go to Indy together to watch class.

John was one really nice guy.
Hope all works out for Him. Dart was a killer back in it's day.

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.....
