I would've liked to meet Peter Seferian. He was apparently a founding member of a pretty well-known New England hot rod club and he sounds like the kind of guy I'd emulate.

 

I saw Gene Winfield last year. He is one of my favorite car builders from the olden daze!

 

Tony Nancy. In 1993 when Steve Evans introduced him at his Drag Racing Hall of Fame induction he said "Here's a guy who never had an ugly car and never had an ugly girl friend."

 

Sam Barris.

 

george barris, norm grabowski

Joe Nitti, that '32 had the best stance
Fred Steele, a true living legend

 

I've met George Barris, next for me is definitely Bill Hines.

 

don yenko, smokey yunick... may they rest in peace.

 

M/T . By that'll never happen.

 

Isky.

 

I would have to say Smokey Yunick and Don "Big Daddy" Garlits. Being a Nascar fan It would be cool to meet Earnhart Sr and Dale (met little E once No big deal) and Fire ball Roberts

 

John Force. Wouldn't just want to meet though. Would rather have a couple of brews. Already met Don Garlits, Art Malone, Connie Swingle. Would like to meet David Pearson and Jr. Johnson .. and Tony Stewart .. geeze. What a mix ... !

 

Gray Baskerville. Hands Down.

 

Yeah. We're speaking hot rod's right? Gene W? Love his art but are they hot rods?
