My good friend Richard Messersmith racing CSX3018, Richard was the original owner. Richard was a height challenged individual also, his mom gave him a pillow to help him reach the pedals....note the pillow on the driver's seat! If you notice the driver's seat has been moved forward as far as it could be.
From a historical point of view regarding this photo as Richard relayed to me...Richard was sitting in the car while it was being refueled and the kid handling the refueling ended up spilling fuel all over the car and Richard, Richard jumped out of the car to accost the kid when the people around him grabbed him before he got to far.

RIP Richard, you and your stories are missed.
