Dad worked with TV Tommy while Valvoline racing director 1960-70. Tommy was the only driver Mom got excited about meeting!! I love to see him again. GREAT build!

Very nice model.
I met Tommy at the NHRA Dragracing Museum in Pomona a couple of years ago right before his 80th birthday...a very nice guy indeed, here is a photo of me and him in front of this particular car.

Hope he hangs in there for a while.  My hero's are dropping like flies lately.   I will be at the finals in Pomona in a few months and maybe I will run in to him again.
