Richard, we have been trying to make an electron BOBBLEHEAD, becasue you were right about CHUCK...Sometimes called the King of Riverside International Raceway. Chuck owned that track...

We have failed so far with Electronic Bobbleheads, but we owe you one...

Chuck is the one who helped Peter Rothchild go 93 MPH for a diesel powered BOAT speed record...

Chuck even made air driven valves for a Ford Flat head....He figured out how the Formula One guys must be doing it, and made them for he El Mirage Dry Lakes car...

He get autograph requests and throws them way...a very humble guy!!! (He's like why would someone want MY autograph)..

Larry Smith, of course, started Scaarb Boats....I think the plugs were built right near my shop in Santa Ana...wooden plugs, built by a guy that had worked for Ron Jones, when Jones was in Costa Mesa....

And Peter Rothchild, came from Powerine Oil company...you know that NASTY old OIL!!!
