As I was remounting my street tires after our auto-x at the local drag strip, Arnie "The Farmer" Beswick comes up to me and asks for a valve stem puller. I thought that was pretty cool. Too bad I couldn't help him out. I saw his 64 GTO sitting out as I left. Okay, it's not Michael Schumaker, John Force or Tony Stewart, but it was a bit of racing history.

Glad to see him getting back into it. IIRC, he was burned in a racing accident that took the last GTO out. The 'new' one is a replica of the old one(s). He has made some public appearances and has hopes of getting back into exhibition racing of that 64 next year.
