To our friends and customers,
Some of you may or may not know, but on Tuesday, July 4, we lost our friend and life-long partner in racing, Mo Parsons. Mo is the very reason Terry was involved in drag racing and the high performance motorcycle business. As Terry has said before, "When I met Mo in 1977, I didn't even know what a turbo was." But, he quickly learned that and more from the guy that many in racing labeled as "Genius". His ability to build and tune cars, boats, and motorcycles is legendary. By the time he and Terry joined forces in the late seventies, he had accomplished much on the racetracks around Texas with his hot rod cars and motorcycles. He personified the old saying, "He who dies with the most toys wins." |

| He may not have still had all his toys in the garage, but in his lifetime, he had everything from 100+ mph dragboats to the fastest and most powerful street and drag bikes on the planet. Everyone that ever knew Mo as a friend, foe, or competitor quickly came to respect him for his incredible intelligence and quiet ability to solve problems. When he and Terry showed up to their first national drag race in 1978, they set a national record, on Mo's turbo bike. The first race they came to in 1979 aboard a new Kosman chassised pro comp bike, they not only set a new record in that class by nearly four tenths of a second, but were accused of cheating because they were beating their competitors by such a large margin. But the racing organization soon realized they weren't cheating, they were working harder than everybody else. And that's what they did their entire racing career, setting dozens of records and stacking up championships as if it were easy. Mo and Terry slowed down their racing efforts over the past few years busying themselves with work, family and friends. Mo's expertise and teaching remain behind with all who knew and worked with him, but a great void of friendship and love from his loving character is left also. Thanks so much to all of you who have called and emailed with your thoughts and condolences over the last few days. God Speed, Mo Parsons. Information on services are available on www.dragbike.com. |
