You may recall our article on the Vic Hickey 69 Chevrolet race truck owned by Ron Johnson as well as the article on the announcement of the NORRA Mexican 1000 vintage off road race coming up in September. In the Hickey article, we mentioned that Ron Johnson owns a number of Hickey built race vehicles, including the Olds 442 driven by James Garner. Johnson has started a thread on Race Dezert that will cover the restoration of this infamous race vehicle. Ron Johnson will be driving the Garner Goodyear Grabber Olds 442 and will have a full documentry team following him along the way.
Ron has sent me over 40 photos! I will be slowly posting them in different articles over the next few months. Remember, the easiest way to be made aware of updates to the website is to subscribe via email .
