       As a young person reading Hot Rod and all the other publications that did features on Mickey and the many forms of motor sports he excelled at,he was obviously one of my heroes. Add  to that the awesome products he sold (the only of which I could afford was M/T valve covers, that I still have) and he was legend. His murder just freaked me out. As I sat and watched Strange Inheritance I had emotions that had me in tears and in utter joy. I wish a campaign to help Danny out would start on this site. If about a thousand viewers would send him $50 on there Pay Pal, I think he could buy some spares and give Poteet a scare. 4-barrel, thanks for the heads up!!!!!  George

Actually, Chris V gave the initial heads up.   :cheers:

Not a bad show.  A bunch of great vintage film plus.

Racing is one of the few places where a true free market conservative becomes a socialist by having a strong willingness to spend other people's money. Ain't life a mystery?

    I'm not sure how "landracing.com" on the side of Danny's car would make him or any one who supported his effort  a socialist. Most free market capitalists write it off as advertising. Help me out Sparky, I didn't know this was political site. :-o

It can be political, or not.   It depends on who might take offense at your post!

 I understand he's managed to make a living out of sponsorship $$ for a while now but you can donate if you want. He actually had the Hot Rod trophy in the bag at Speed Week & then went over & mouthed off to George who was done for the meet. Apparently that didn't sit too well with George so he rolled "Goldie" out & made some more runs to correct that.

Thanks to those of you that enjoyed the special. There were a few inaccuracies, but that always happens, and it was great working with Jaime's team. I'm not sure what the political talk is about, but we do have some terrific sponsors, and we're always looking for more. C2 is a hungry beast, which is a fact of racing I'm sure you're all familiar with.

We generally don't try to correct things people post online, but I'll say for the record that what "kiwi belly tank" wrote is entirely untrue, and pretty disappointing to read on an enthusiast forum. Cheers, DT.
