"Tom,
The Patterson Ford "Long-Dog" was very prevelant in the 1955-58 period.
As I recall you ran there in the early 60's and the Long-Dog was prolly gone
by
then.
I left the area when I finished college at Cal Poly in late 1959. I quit
competing when I got married after the 1958 school year and sold the dragster
in 1960. During the 1958-59 racing season Gary Boerman and Jerry Adams put a
blown gasser Olds in the car and ran San Luis Obispo and Santa
