Hi Guys
Pat was telling me one of his great stories, he was driving the Wonder Wagon Funny car back in the day and had a match race lined up with Jungle Jim in the mid west.
Pat has made a couple of runs and they were all waiting for Jim to show up after being quite late, the place was kinda like Long Beach with a elevated Freeway in front of the strip entrance.
So all of a sudden the people in the stands are looking at the Road and Jim unloads his racer up there, lights it off drives down the off ramp into the track up to the line and does a full track burn out.
So Pat says i might as well have gone home as he has the whole place right in this hands, what a showman he was !!!
I met Pat when he was driving for Rocky Childs when the dragster was brand new, great guy and good friend R.I.P. Pat
