Read about that Hot Rod and remember the number one season... Yep... ole
Doc smoked them with that one.... cool car and Brilliant planing.... taught
me to try and plan for more then one class when you build a car... and to
look at all records as attainable...
Scottie Guthrie is another one that is good at that... and Racing alot....
He makes tons of passes and does a lot of planning.... I am sure that all
things considered he has to be one of the all time record holders... in
shear total of records.. both at Bonneville and Maxton for sure....
Ps wasn't a subscriber to BRN at that time... or it didn't exist... I had
to rely on what limited coverage was available in the normal Rags....
