On the left is Dave Headley in the earlier days and on the right is Marie getting ready to go out at Waterford Hills in 2025. Marie is in Dad's last race car he built that he won 7 SCCA National events in. Linda is talking to a grid worker and crewing for Marie at this event. The car still retains the original number and has the last engine Dave ever built and it was built for Marie.
