[Dr. Eric M. Schiffer]

How about a tie in with a local '60's radio station. You can see the 1966 GeeTo Tiger behind the DJ's.

The DJ's had a race the Tiger day at the strip. Where the popular Dick Purtain raced one of the Geeto Tigers against the Mystery Tiger, John Politzer. Dick Purtain made it all the way down the track without shifting. Fortunately on a few push rods got bent.

Years later this incident made for great conversation when Jim Wangers and I met with Bill Stedman 104.7 radio's program manager. 104.7 is the major sponsor of the Dream Cruise and where Dick Purtian now worked. We presented Jim's Geeto Tiger print for Dick Purtain to give away for radio contests, along with Jim's other prints. Dick's drag racing story got aired with a lot of laughter. As Dick told it, his wife was standing next to some one from PMD who kept yelling "SHIFT". That person was Jim Wangers.
