Thanks Rich!!!! Also big thanks go to Flatliner for the GREAT pics! As soon as Rich got them in the e-mail he gave me ring to come over and take a look.
Its not wasy to put into words when you loose a friend but when Rich asked me to help him out with the Chevelle when Tom passed away i was just happy i could still keep seeing the car. From swapping motors,fixing wiring,brakes,shifter cables etc etc i know that Tommy would of done the same thing.
I do remember racing Tom in the Chevelle down 170th st (Rd in front of Whites pit stop). We hit the light at Torrence and ran all the way to 120+, I remember him being in front of me and all i could do was look at my boost gauge thinking somthing was wrong cause i did not think he could pull on me like he did.
Lots of stories with Tom from drag racing to drinking Dr. McGillicutty's at the Ridgewood tap.
R.I.P. Tom
