Back in the mid 50's there was a rider and bike that I use to have to leave early from home and drive to 2 or 3 different Drag Strips (back then there was that many and more) to look for this guy. His name was Dave Schultz and he raced a Knucklehead. That is me in the far lane and Dave in the near lane. We raced over the early years and he never won a race, used to always go to a track where he was hoping I wouldn't show up.

Really Early Days

Nostalgia Thoughts
Nostalgia Spoken here!The Knucklehead, 1969
My Wife Pat was really involved in my Drag Racing. She did all the fuel mixing for all my Fuel Bikes. Some times a racer would come and ask her to mix a batch of fuel for them. She also changed the percentage without telling me because she could hear the bike on a run and knew a change was needed. Pat was a good racers wife.
