And before the Rodek powered Datsun,adding a blower on his old Camaro Howes became one of the first blown door cars to be featured at Budds Creek. A founding father of the 'Wild Bunch" and run whatcha' brung doorslammer racing.

Thanks, guys! And thanks for your help on the info, Ron. Yes, I will be there both days. I'm even bringing brother Tim, who will take the remote mike and try to get some interviews for the show Monday night. bp

The concept of Maryland International Raceway having their own Hall of Fame is a good one... I enjoyed reading about those who've received the honor who I already knew of (like the great Tommy Howes), as well as those who I didn't know of prior to reading their story... MIR is smart in giving these fine folks their place in drag racing history... Thanks for bringing this to our attention... I know that I sure learned a few things about a few people that I didn't know before-- Every day should be a learning experience for those of us in the drag racing community... I recommend that everyone check it out... "The Doc" (Celebrity Drag Racing Authority & Visionary)...
