[ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 12:04:%####/15/07 Mon In reply to: MistyMcLemore 's message, "Re: Austin Raceway Park" on 02:19:%####/10/07 Sat Misty, I knew Linford very well. Began racing with Linford in the late 50's when he raced the yellow 37 or 38 Chevy, went to Green Valley to the AHRA Nationals (1960 or 61). Six of us stayed in a old travel trailer. I slep out side on a cot and some of the guys got up early and moved my cot, with me still in it, to the starting line. Was I surprised when I woke. Linford then moved to B/Roaster and held the AHRA ET record for two years (10:71). Then moved to A/Gas Dragster. Blown Olds. I believe it was 1965 or 66 AHRA Nationals at Green Valley when he blew the engine and had a hole in the side of the block about 6 inches round. I lost touch with Linford about then, moved out of Austin and he and I also had a disagreement about an engine I purchased from him. We traveled many many miles togrether racing all over Texas, Arziona, LA. and N. Mex. from the late 50's to the mid 60's. Had a lot of good times.
