	Getting ready to qualify for the National Open at Williams Grove 1983, the Gambler car was owned by Dr. Tom Garrett of Byers, Okla. and based out of Oklahoma City, the first Oklahoma car to compete with the WoO on a regular basis. Crew chief Clark Drake, from LA had great vision for a kid of 18, made the complete WoO tour with us and probably was responsible for the 5th place finish in the season standings with the World Of Outlaw series. Clark later went on to be the man behind Sammy Swindell's operation and later tried driving in the LA area and to date runs a successful manufacturing business in the LA area, currently is also a crew chief for an IRL Indy car team.
	Knoxville 1986, "Beaver" Bob Vielhauer's 12x car. We ran most of the year with the NCRA and on Friday nights in OKC with the Gambler house car also. I commuted to KC almost every Sat. morning to prepare for the Sat. night in Knoxville races and wherever we could run Sun. Managed a 3rd place in the Knoxville points with feature wins in Iowa, Kansas and Missouri.
