Actually you're a damn good driver Morris. I remember you well from C Production days driving Datsun 280Z's.

Uhhhh, I dunno about that. I saw an interview a couple of weeks ago with the "wives of NASCAR drivers" and each one of them said that they did the family vacation driving themselves because their husbands could not pay attention to the road consistently when only driving 60mph.

Did I race with you in the early days....??

Thanks for the nice words...I was obsessed in my younger days.....now I’m much more mellow and slower in my new life.....but I still build things to the best of my ability....and am trying to share as much knowledge as I can to help others.....

I was usually a backmarker, but I did finish second to your first in the 1981 June Sprints. I did several IMSA races with Jack Buchinger in 280Z's. You might remember him.

Having never met Morris personally, I somehow have a vision of him fitting in just fine with Donnie, Cale, and Richard at the 1979 Daytona 500.

Even though I’m from Spartanburg S.C.....I only wish I could have had that experience....I will say that every time I raced down south....and I was living in Illinois at the time.....when I beat the Southern guy’s....they didn’t like it when a northern guy did that......but when they found out where I was from.....they accepted me like their own.....an we had great races and lot’s of fun...
