Gene Adams(Hilborn) and I were stationed together and raced at Sheldon drag
strip. Met up with Terrel Poege who later become an NHRA official up there.
They had a dragster with a potvin front drive blower on the Chrys. Also saw
the bustle bomb run for exibition. Seen it more down here.
Small world.
