I know what you mean about the old race day stories. Murl would always entertain us with old race day stories. Many times we would hear stories we've already heard. It was just as fun to hear the 3rd or 4th time as it was the first. Sure do miss him. Pull motor pull.robbyc said:i was lucky enough to meet smokey few years back i even have pics with him somewhere he was a man who wanted to talk more about the hijinks that went on at the tracks he went to with junior johnson more than the heady science stuff and i talked to him many times after that.i have never been one to hero worship but if there was ever one i would it was him .the day i heard of his passing hurt me deeply i have known quiet a few engine builders that really got into the science of it i have worked with eddie folwer gene fulton and known many more but none affected me the way he did he was way ahead of his time i have worked in nascar i work in the american lemans now we are involved in cutting edge stuff but nothing compares to the things i have seen at .....(the best damn garage in town)
One of Murl's sayings. "Shoes (drivers) are like spark plugs. If it don't work, you screw it out and replace it."
