I remember seeing Shrum race when I was a kid. First at Lake Hill and the later at Tri City. I was a fan. I last saw him at the Lake Hill Reunion and to me he looked just about the same. Sorry to hear that he passed away he seemed like a nice man.

Great race car pictures too. Doesn't it look like he's got the L-88 heads on his big Chevy? Check out the header on the last modified picture it looks like a Tri-Y setup.
