He's my all time favorite racer, builder and pioneer of drag racing. Me and the wife drove down to Florida one year and happen to run into his museum.
I was like a kid in a toy store. When we left the museum Don and his wife were just pulling out of their garage. We passed them on the way out.

Here's a couple of pictures I took back in 1971. Don was at Island for a match race (forget who he raced) At this year's 50th anniversary meet I showed these pic's to Don and he was amazed he ran at Island without a wing. I gave him an extra pic (side shot). He also autographed the pic's I had with me. Neat Stuff

Here's a sequence of pic's from the infamous wheelstand. My brother got the burn out and Don's return down the track after he put the dragster in a giant power wheelstand. Then flipped over backwards coming back down the track and clicking it off.
