Digressing even further, I didn't know "TV" Tommy Ivo had a 4-engined
dragster but I do recall the show that he was on originally which I
doubt many others recall or ever saw ....also saw a trailer at Sears
Point last weekend with "Rettig Racing" on the side and wondered if this
was connected to Tommy Rettig of Lassie fame.... then recalled my
favorite obscure celebrity racer from the past, Billy Gray (Life with
Father, The Day the Earth Stood Still), who raced second tier Speedway
motorcycles in So Cal many years ago ... an activity that seemed to
require big cajones or a small brain or both ... I need to get away from
the PC and do something constructive like getting the car ready for the
next race.
