Yes this is the car that was involved in the collision that took Tiny. I witnessed that particular accident and wish I had not...I remember the 2 guys jumping the fence, running over and pushing the security guard out of the way to help Tiny...This was a very hard hti for the both Tiny and Terry...My recollection will not let me remember Terry ever running another Cup race if he did so.

He tried to qualify for some races but I don't think he ever ran again. I worked on the last car he had and tried to qualify for the Firecracker in 1980 but missed the race.

Tom, do you know if Terry is still around and if so what is he doing these days?

William, the last I heard he moved to Tennessee. That was years ago. I've lost contact with the brothers after the business closed.

Thanks Tom, I was just curious... appreciate the good pictures. Blast from the past....I could not even have imagined that when I got up this morning that I would be discussing Terry Link's Talladega crash today.

I enjoyed the conversation.
