Wow.... I'm blown away.
Don Gays GTO was the car that got me hooked on funnycars.
Back in the day, the top fuel guys were not too fond of the new breed funnycar guys as they were stealing the thunder. I was solidly in the top fuel camp. One night we were at Lions I was up on the line watching the cars. Don pulls up with the gorgeous candy red Infinity and pulls over by the chain link fence on the right hand side. He gets out the door ( yes door ) and when he shuts it, the front wheels fell over from all the caster and the front of the car moved to the right about a foot and the fender hit the fence.
I thought that was the coolest thing I had ever seen, a door car with as much front end caster as a dragster. How could I not love something as cool as that.
I wanted to do that to a street car.
I wanted to pull into Bob's and my buddies would have to bail out and pull the front wheels back up straight.
Don; Thanks for that very cool night at the beach, and for all the times I got to see you run.
Jay
