What became of Larry Minor

[Doug in the woods]

I recall he lives/lived in Hemet California growing potatoes, then the MAN decided to dig up his land looking for evidence??
Does he still sell potatoes to Mac D's?
What is he doing now?
I recall he had some bufflo on his ranch etc?
Is he still well off and involved in drag racing??

As far as I know he is not doing anything with McDonalds. From what I was told, he pretty much owns Hemet, CA. He is still involved with Drag Racing. If you look at the lower spill plates on the Pedregon cars, it says "Larry Minor Motorsports".

As already stated, Larry Minor continues to support drag racing as an associate sponsor to the Pedregon Bros. F/C's, as well as Steve Johnson's PSB.

The Minor family continues to operate the successful Agri Empire business. More info can be found here: Agri Empire Home Page

Minor has always had a passion for off-road motorsports, including being a major sand dunes enthusiast. His shop has built custom-designed sand cars, that feature huge HP engines and his signature fiberglass Jeep bodies.

In honor of his many achievements in professional desert off-road racing, Minor was inducted into the Off Road Motorsports Hall of Fame in 2005. The very informative story can be found here: Welcome to the Off-Road Motorsports Hall of Fame - ORMHOF

So as you can see, Larry Minor hasn't gone too far away from the drag strip.

Didn't he start out in sand to begin with before ever getting involved with drag racing?

and what was all this evidence digging of his land all about? I never heard anything of the sort before.

also. Is Gary Beck still building homes? or retired?

what was all this evidence digging of his land all about?

Illegal dumping and storage of toxic waste.

If I remember, a disgruntled ex employee spread some BS and it was checked out and was nothing.
