[QUOTE="Black 03 Z06, post: 239418, member: 1852"] Have not seen Al Mason for a long time. He was a really nice guy, always had time to chat. We hung around his Sunoco Station in Etobicoke (west end Toronto) as kids, never knew what you would see there. Later I always took my cars to him for repairs. One of those places you just felt comfortable. The head mechanic on Al's Corvette was Ray Gilles, think he was from the east coast of Canada, he worked at the Sunoco station as well. Ray also worked for "Daytona" Don Biederman, a man of legend, lore and sometimes gore in the short track stock car circles in Ontario. Those were the days! That Corvette by the way was involved in a HUGE accident not long ago at a race in the US. One of the leaders in a Trans Am car brake checked at very high speed on the front straight and the mayhem behind was incredible to see. There is a U Tube video of it somewhere.
