An interview with Knot Farington
« on: November 01, 2013, 10:16:54 AM »
If you would like to see a true backyard racer and inspiration for us all go to the following website. Things have changed since the 60's but not in the heart and mind of Knot. One nice HAT.

At 94 he makes me feel bad about retiring at 69.......JD
First GMC 6 powered Fuel roadster over 200, with 2 red hats. Pit crew for Patrick Tone's Super Stock #49 Camaro

He made a lot of the parts we buy now like the diff with quick change gears.  Impressive.
