You are, and always will be a Winner. Race wisely......got a hundred bucks on ya....JK

"Still Fatal" Pictures by Bernell Johnson
For those not knowing the story, Spoke McClendon's last race car was named "Fatal Attraction". Tywon Mitchell, also of
Los Angeles, CA, went to great lengths to find Spoke's car after the many years and as a Tribute to Spoke, totally restore
the car and again in Tribute to Spoke, bring the car back to the Volkswagen drag racing scene, naming it "Still Fatal".Tywon, you did an unbelievable job, I know Spoke is very honored and very proud....
