FEEBACK ARTICLE - MERCHANT OF MEMORIES

Way way back in the early 70's I would go to the March Meet. My Dad would allow this 15/16 year old to take the family car or pickup/camper to Famoso and see the March Meet. I believe that the most beautiful car that Tom Hoover EVER campaigned was his Satellite "Showtime". That car was gorgeous. I have always wanted to field a nostalgia Satellite or Challenger. And for those morons that clearly have a Mopar E-Body and paint Camaro fascia on them, you are fools.

As for Mr. Aiello, after reading what all you have written about this young man, it makes me cherish a time in my past. I could never hold a candle to "Big Mike", but I used to be a people person. I would go around every morning and say "hi" to everyone and give the gals a hug. Then the military got ahold of me and soured me to people.

I just hope that now that I have my 20 years complete that I can once again be a true people person and that even one tenth of me could be like "Big Mike".  As for the Satellite bodied Funny Car, I still have my dreams.  God Bless you All and God Bless "Big Mike" and all who loved him. - Mark Elm, Kingsburg, CA.
