For Wayne Dupuy (1 Viewer)

Tell me I'm old but NOT crazy.
I remember you as the crew chief for a family run Dodge Avenger F/C out of south Mississippi.
The Blake family and if I'm not just crazy, one of them was nicknamed "Three".
It ran pretty well as I remember.
What ever became of all that?

Just laugh if all this is some sort of hazed flashback.

I worked with "Three" briefly on the Michael Brotherton Top Fueler in 1989. I remember sitting in a hotel one night, and he could recite every word from the John Candy/Steve Martin movie "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles." Every single word. Michael's crew chief, Larry Rogers, built the F/C for the Blake brothers, and they had some success for true family team with no budget. I didn't know Wayne Dupuy tuned the car, must have been one of his first gigs.

 

[Too many to list here]

Didn't Wayne tune the Rex Nix F/C?
