In a conversation with the legendary Art Morrison and his son Craig, the guys are treated to an intimate personal history, from Art’s earliest influences working on a 1930 Model A Ford in the early 1960s… to a ’54 Chevy that he built into a race car… through a tour in Vietnam… to success on the track in 1972… and building 135 rear end dragsters starting in 1977. It’s a fascinating oral history not to be missed!
