It may have been Rangoon Red as that color has an orange tone to it , so maybe I thought it was orange . I just remember holding on to the wheel hard as he blew by me on the back straight . Is this the same guy ? Just curious , if so , what happened to him ? Bob
You had a unique and trademark experience with Tombstone....just Google Graham Tombstone Shaw and you will find him. He was a realestate developer in the south and raced in the 50's and 60's almost killing himself and retiring . You can find him on the drivers list at VIR....
