Off subject. But how is the animal doing? I remember when I was a kid his sponsor sent the best food to the track.

still remember the nite he took all the HARF officers

I saw Animal at THAT, he had a bandaged hand and walked a bit stiff but looked great again. i might be able to get you his phone # if you need it. Just drop me a pm. I also remember the "stuffing party" we had at New Orleans House with HARF, alot of work, but the sample platters kept coming, good thing Animal arranged it, I sure couldn't afford it on my own. Bruce is a Champion guy, will help out any time you ask and his work with handicapped kids is above and beyond. A #1 guy, bob

Thanks for all your great comments! Animal is one of my best friends and we talk almost daily, no one will ever meet a nicer guy anywhere!!! C'mon photographers I know some one has a good pic of the old tank somehwere. The whole reason I came to meet him was I was working on D.O.'s midget and kept watching this guy show up to the gun fight every saturday night with a knife. And this crazy sum b*%@h would come out alive every week!!! lol

Well one night I went up to him and said " I dont know who the hell you are but I gotta shake your hand. You keep embarassing guys with 3 times the equipment you have every week and I like it!!!" Been friends ever since.
