Don, I hung around Babb's Custom Automotive. The shop was located near the College. I still have a photo taken in 1954/55 of my 1948 Ford parked in front of the shop that now hangs on the wall in my office. The Ford was "UNDERSLUNG".... now they say.."SLAMED" and act like they invented it..The only person I remember other than Babbs is Tommy Windom and he had a bad to the bone...1951 Olds 98 Hardtop,black on black with "OLDS STARFIRE" flipper hubcaps. They were just starting to have organized drags at a old airfild near by and I remember running my Ford and later a 41 Merc. Coupe I had with a 110 h.p Merc. motor out of a 51 Merc. and it would sometimes break into the high 16's...and in my mind I was FLYING!!! SCRAP
