Sad to read of Galen Fox's passing. I personally never met him but must give him some credit for the instant success we had with our first Grant King Modified in 1976. When my Uncle Ronny went to Kings shop to pick up our first car Galen took a great amount of time to go over everything about the car with him. He was working for King at the time. Don't forget we knew nothing about torsion bars, Torque tubes, Jacobs Ladders etc.. He gave him the baseline set up we should start with and all that. Of course we used his info and tweaked it to better fit a heavy car over time.

Thanks for sharing this background, Anthony. He was an iconic figure in USAC.
