Best photo bomb ever
 

My wife and I were at the Pomona drags years ago. She wanted a picture of her with John Force. She leaned in, I stepped over his pit bike's front wheel and quickly snapped a picture. It wasn't until I got home and downloaded the picture that I saw Gene smiling between them in the background. Being a huge custom car lover since I was a kid, I was way more excited about getting Gene in the picture than John...Lol. Sorry John. I tried for years to get Gene's autograph on the picture, but was never able to pull it off. RIP Gene.

^ Great photo.
R.I.P. Mr.Gene.

Very talented craftsman indeed. When he built his he had to use ingenuity as all the fancy tools for fabrication back then weren't available yet.

I ran across this video/interview and had no idea Gene was involved. Pretty cool what he did beyond cars. R.I.P.
