@rheil posted:I recall Doug saying that some of the other well known drive builders built junk as he called it. Doug was a rather tall fellow from Texas I believe who used to attend Chicago in March years ago when it was held near the racetrack. Mundeline (sp?) I believe it was.
If you knew Doug, everything that anyone else built/did was junk.....his work was the best money could buy. 
He had a very strong personality "Texas Style" and could rub people the wrong way, but I always enjoyed talking to him and he had a heart of gold when it came to kids. I spoke with him several time on the phone and he was fixing up some RC aircraft (another of his hobbies) for a local boys club and another time for some kids in the neighborhood...he gave the aircraft to them. He was a hoot!
