T.C. Christenson's Twin Norton "Hogslayer" -



He also owns this one.  I've never seen them run, but I've visited his shop, and both are beautiful bikes -

  I've been to the U.S. Nationals many times as well as dozens of other NHRA national events and NONE  of them held a candle to the 50th anniversary MARCH MEET!!!!!!!  It will always stand out as one of my favorite auto events. It did sadden me that a really awesome racer , John Shoemaker lost his life there.
