It is almost as sad as when the man himself passed on. Hopefully all the rare and 1-off stuff was out of there when the place burned. I believe the contents was auctioned off around 2004, stuff like Hemi heads for a small block Chevy and loads of other rare and prototype stuff.

I like all the stories I've read/heard about Smokey ... cool character!

As the line says in the article"Now even his classroom, where a lot of us learned a helluva lot, is gone. Burned to the ground."

Hemi heads, crossrams, quick fill fuel doors for 69 trans am camaros, carbs, etc... What a shame.
