you i swear to the life of my soul.... my dad bought AJ Foyts jet! its a hawker and Foyt has had the plane for 10 YEARS OH! AND FOYTS PILOT ROBERT(HIS NAME) HE FLEW ME AND MY DAD TOO I SWEAR YOU HAVE TOO BELIEVE ME!!!!
B-17 pilot, helicopter pilot, diesel, mechanic, race car builder, showed Chevy how to go fast. And cheated when ever he could in racing. If it wasen't in the rule book, then it's ok.
I believe that was by Smokey's request. In reading his book he didn't want to burden his family with a museum that would cost everyone. He wanted everything he worked on auctioned off so it would be used. He was the best.
It was a sad day when the Best Damn Garage burned to the ground.

@chrijens From what I understand, Smokey TOLD the family to sell it all off and get what you can.
