Sometime back in the 90s, I saw the Winged Express on an open trailer here in Springfield, Missouri. I turned around and found it in a service station getting gas. I talked with Mousie Marcellous, he had the urn in the passengers seat that had Willys ashes. I have seen Mike Boyd a few times and I wouldn't want to tangle with him.

  T-man, after having ones's noggin opened up twice in one year, I don't think any of us would be what we used to be, but I think we are all very happy that Jr. is not only recovered, but RACING!!!  
  A few years back I had the misfortune of becoming the recipient of cluster headaches which if you have never experienced, leave you unable to function normally, and nothing you ever want to have.
  After many tests and MRI's my neurologist looked at the data, precribed some pain medication, and had me come in every two weeks to check on my condition.
  After about two month's I went in to see him and told him that they had dissapeared the week before.
  He said " Then we are done unless they come back".
  I asked him what had caused them and his answer was: "unfortunatley we cannot unscew the top of your head to look at any problems.  We can see from a MRI if you have had a stroke or have cancer, but other than that we just treat the symptoms as we can only guess at what is causing the problem".
  That was good enough for me.
  As Otto Von Bismark once said: "the less people know about how laws and sausages are made, the better off they will be".                             Bob                
                                                            :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

  While watching The California Hot Rod Reunion (from last October) on Bangshift.com, I witnessed Big Mike do a burnout in the tower lane, crossing over into the right lane and swerving around another Fuel Altered that had already rolled to a stop. 
  He then drove back into his lane, came to a stop and they both backed up as if nothing happened.
  Willy Borsch is probably still smilling in his Urn.  If you can't find it on You Tube I am sure that it must be in the Bangshift.com archives.

I was there for that act. Right in front of us in the stands, the people sat in stunned silence. Then, as they say, the crowd went wild.

  Dan, the scariest part as I remember was the other guy's backup crew person who was between Mike and the other car.
  If he didn't crap his pants, I don't know why.............  Bob
