I owned an AMX at the time , so was hanging around his pit area a lot . I had a good camera at the time and on Friday he asked if I would get photos of the car and plane together since they had matching (AMC) racing colors , before loading the car onto the trailer the next morning . I said that I would for a ride with him .
The deal was on ! I had to sit on the floor pan , the suspension and tires were rock hard , so it almost shook the fillings out of my teeth** , and my ears rang for weeks , but it was the ride of my life !
** the Salt has little ridges every few inches , so the ride is like driving on a cobblestone road , only worse .
