I ran into Don Bowles last October at a NMCA race at Memphis,,,he is always the gentleman, I told him I was from Seattle and remembered taking shots of his Mustang around '76 when he brought it out west during the Grace Cup days. That car was a big bodied 71-73 style and ran real fast, a stick car also. He returned around 1980 with the Fairmont and that was an impressive Super Modified piece too. He told us some stories about always enjoying the trips out west, but he stays closer to home nowadays. He was now running a Maverick, still yellow and still a stick car and still having fun in his twilight years. I'm hoping we can all be enjoying this when we're his age. It was great spending a little time with him.
