Sad news. Some of the best match races ever; <font color="red">Big John </font> vs. <font color="blue"> SWC Swindler </font>

I'm staring at a model of a Candy Red Willys sitting on my computer as I write this.

This picture has always been one of my favorites. A copy of this shot hangs framed in my garage.

Big John always impressed me because his cars not only ran like the wind, they were dressed to the nines! Kind of like what we try to do today. A man way ahead of his time!

Rest in Peace John, and may your survivors know that you were highly regarded - a legend in your own time.
