Well, the Mori Brothers have bought their old VW ChevWagon drag racer back and are working at restoring it. They were big back in the 60s, 70s and early 80s and held the speed record in their class for 15 years. In their 70s now, they plan to restore it and then show up as some classic shows and then maybe donate it to a museum somewhere, maybe to Don Garlits Drag Racing Museum. How do I know? I bought our current house from Butch Mori, and Gene Mori was my next door neighbor until about 2 weeks ago.
The picture below is a rare shot of Butch racing Richard Petty, at Aquasco Speedway in MD.
