......I'm all about more canucks here; still trying to draw the Rushkowski's out of B.C.- great NTF family, open and warm folks with great stories..they belong here.
But that's not why I'm posting. EMILY! Pay attention. This is one of your 300 drag racing aunts and uncles on this forum here to tell you not to fall for that false humility gobbich outa yer Dad. Seriously, he has done something that only one significant magazine back in the '60's even attempted...and never...remotely... at the scope, and with the personability the Drag Racing List gestated. (Today's word is..."gestated"...) He is credited with serious accomplishment for creating "the List"-and if you ask anyone in Drag Racing what "the List" is, they'll tell you immediately. He may be hysterical, but he's also historical--and he needs to own up.
I try to do this with all kids of drag strip heros....and that's what your father is...
Make him drag out those magazine articles and show you the Robert Post reference if he hasn't yet....get his autograph...goose his pride. He deserves all the accolades your cello-chokin' hands can post on any discussion board.
Man.
