I don't believe Lee was wearing a seatbelt at the Oklahoma track where he was killed. He was doing 60' runs and if it felt good, he would run it all the way out. Just what I heard.........
What a great team RMS was. Won Pro Stock in both NHRA and IHRA, two years in a row (83-84) !!!
Rest in Peace, Lee and Buddy
