Smokey. That’s the guy that could not get the new Chevy Rat engine to make good power & live so Chevrolet had Smokey send the engine to Jr Johnson where a young Robert Yates’s was moonlighting after he got off from his day job at Holman & Moody. Robert made the big block scream with HP & survive. I will stop at that for now as the rest is history.
Cheers
