Elmer and his Double

Frankie,

I believe that was Elmer when he had his Double Harley.
I don't remember who won that race, but I remember Ron Won Top Fuel at a race earlier and he raced Elmer on his Double Harley at that time. It was at that race that Elmer told me "if we want to continue winning we will have to get rid of our Harley's" and he was right.

The old Linquert

That's exactly right, that carb is where George got the idea for the First S&S Fuel Carb. Leo was working for George when he and George put that linquert together for Fuel. At the time I was running that M48 Harley Carb on Fuel and when Leo came to California and whipped every body's ass was when he help me change to that Linquert. I was lucky because it hooked me up with George who I didn't know at the time and Leo and I was kind of the test bed with that Linquert. When the first S&S fuel carbs came out Leo had number 0001 and he delivered number 0002 and 0003 to me on a trip to the West Coast.

Winning Trophy

Do you remember this, it's you giving me the Trophy for winning Top Fuel. It was a thing you hung on the wall, a engraving of Russ and his bike. I still have it someplace, when I first got it I hung it over the toilet in the back bath room at home.

Those were the days!
