Default Best photo bomb ever

My wife and I were at the Pomona drags years ago. She wanted a picture of her with John Force. She leaned in, I stepped over his pit bike's front wheel and quickly snapped a picture. It wasn't until I got home and downloaded the picture that I saw Gene smiling between them in the background. Being a huge custom car lover since I was a kid, I was way more excited about getting Gene in the picture than John...Lol. Sorry John. I tried for years to get Gene's autograph on the picture, but was never able to pull it off. RIP Gene.

Very talented craftsman indeed. When he built his he had to use ingenuity as all the fancy tools for fabrication back then weren't available yet.

I ran across this video/interview and had no idea Gene was involved. Pretty cool what he did beyond cars. R.I.P.
