I began design on the k-1early in
1983 and submitted all specs and
drawings to for homoligation by
September.   After  repeated  and
frustrating attempts we finally
received certificates for 12 cars
in June 1984 that were dated Jan
1984. We were able  to build only
three cars.  The first  car  broke
track  records  at  Sebring  and
Moroso that year.

Daytona Raceway 1984 where we
discovered we had more car than
 brakes.  Tom Dill  and  I  doing the
usual  endless  race  car  chores.

Little Susie does time sheets.

My first time  out in a  Formula
440 in May 1981 in Fort Worth,
Texas. Very modified Holtzclaw
that taught me many lessons.

If there is insufficient room for
your  sports  cars  then  add-on.

our home in Keller in 1989. The

One of the few pictures I have
of my kid brother Danny, 1958
in  Fort Worth Texas
, with me
in the 3 liter  '56 Austin Healy.
That is  not a  dog wearing the
glasses, it is a fox.
