I saw him race here with the Backup Pickup many decades ago. He put on a really wild show. Back then wheelstanders were still kinda new and something to behold, and Hollie Swindle ran that thing clean off the strip for us...the fact that it ran backwards was something special...it was also loud and fast...RIP, Hollie...you gave us some big thrills.
