i met tom at the mh99/auto union races.
i still have his business card from swift.
i was camping with rocky, mike robinson and mike williams when tom and a
friend showed up in his urq round midnight one night trolling for a spot in
a sold out campground.  i'm not even sure how he got in, but we invited him
to stay with us.
istr his urq was a twin of rocky's (amazon green or something?)
i don't remember him mentioning being a qlister...
he invited me to check out the wind tunnel at swift but i never took him up
on it.  :(
