He did really well in asphalt drag racing, holding many speed records. He was very good at it.
IIRC he got in an accident and gave it up and opened a motorcycle shop. Then he won a whole bunch of trophies motorcycle racing. He was really good at it.
then he saw the boat drags and started doing that, and he was really good at it. The best. World record holder.
Then he blew over the boat and got hurt real bad and gave up boat drags and started drag racing cars again. And got really good at it. Held the speed record for awhile.
His life story is really amazing.
