What an awesome story and what a great guy. Bardahl could not have picked a better ambassador.
Thanks for posting this.

Al is a NW Mopar legend and lived right down the street for me when I was a teen through early 20's. His NHRA Challenger is in the Museum of History and Industry in Seattle. I had heard that there was going to to be a film on his life story.... this reminds me to check in on that.

Last he was telling me about these European adventures I asked him about Bardhal, as that brand seems to have waned in America. Apparently, it is very good seller in Europe. Bardahl could not ask for a better representative... and it's so cool that he has been able to do this. What away to spend your retirement years. If we could all be so lucky!

He's one of those guys that everyone describes as a positive and pleasant person. e.g. - The first time we met we were talking nitrous (which was new to me at the time), ... after knowing me for 15 minutes he was offering to help me set up the nitrous system on my car.
