"The Farmer" Arnie Beswick
Spending some quality time with the Legendary Arnie Beswick, the most famous Pontiac drag racer of all time. He is and always was from Morrison, Illinois. My long time friend Steve (on the right) and I (on the left) spent countless Sundays watching Arnie Beswick's "Mystery Tornado" GTO match race Gary Dyer, in "Mr. Norm's" Grand Spaulding Dodge, on this very same drag strip. That was fifty years ago. Arnie is now 84 years old, and is still among the nicest people you will ever meet. Always a class act.
