Can't argue that he looked big time back then. Greeneville Oil & Petroleum is Allen's company. I believe they do (or did) distribute fuel to Amoco locations in the Greeneville area.

Refresh my memory here...wasn't Steve Schmidt initially involved in DSR's first days in Pro Stock? I seem to remember they (Glidden & crew) used part of Steve's shop or something like that. Did Steve do any engine work for DSR's first days? I do remember that Bob didn't want to be at DSR's new facility...
