Saw Dave at the 1986 AHRA World Finals, Spokane,WA. Looking at his hat pin rite now, on one of the 6 boards I have.I was going through some old scrapbooks and scanning some 35 mm pictures. I ran across this article from probably 1986 (?) or so when Diamond Dave was trying a short wheelbase TF car when everyone else was stretching them View attachment 5930
I saw him beat Darryl Gwynn with the short car at (then) Firebird. I'd heard that he had built the short car w/ square steel tubing, but the photo shows round tube.
