There was a guy out of Mich called The Mich Mad Man that ran a SBC sideways in a bike.They would wheel him up to the staging lights and put the bike on rear wheel kick stand.Then remote start the engine like ones used on dragsters and he would rev it up and kick the bike off the stand laying down over the whole thing.
Twin engined dragster called the Freight Train.

Big had a clutch blow up and cut the car in two.Not at the above match race.
Connie was running a dragster and then a early funny car.Shirley was hanging out in real life,yepper"heart like a wheel".
Dandy Dick Landy was running his dodge Hemi deal.
Sorry for your loss of friend Mike McGee, Shine. Great trans men are few and far between, it seems. Sadly, Mike Frade was only 66 and had been talking about retirement for ten years that I know...
