Hey Mark, I'm just curious. How many different makes & models have you driven in a race ?

Note: I'm sure nobody will be surprised if I say I love that McKinney Bird !

Oh well, not counting street racing in my teens and 20's..still a lot.
I'll start a list and just include Divs and Nats. This might take a while. Bear with me.

Good morning Mark,
I've seen your name pop up many times over the past, and i'm curious as well as to how many cars you've raced. I'd also like to hear if there was a favorite car for what ever reason. Also when the cars and rules were more rudimentary and nice examples were easier to get, was it any easier to build a particular car?
Somehow I've had a tendency to hold on to my toys for a while. That may or may not be a good thing - just me. If you have the time I'd really like to see that list.

I saw Mark race in one of the Bob Johnson cars at Connecticut Dragway when I was a little boy.

Even the rednecks from Texas have followed Mark's racing career!

Growing up in Ct., I remember those Bob Johnson cars. Always ran good. More of those cars in the parking lot, than on the track back then, lol.
I remember the Fitts`, as well, very successful.
