Uncle Joe Benson at the Goodguys 9th Pomona Nitro Nationals, May 6, 2006.

May 6, 2006: There was Uncle Joe, hanging with the KLOS Cool Patrol and chatting with fans at the Goodguys 9th Pomona Nitro Nationals at the Fairplex in Pomona. Surrounded by hundreds and hundreds of hot rods and vintage race cars, Randy Balough had his Uncle Joe's Super Gas Corvette looking mighty fine! And when he fired up that 1050hp beast — good times indeed!
