I met Gene at the Fleetwood Country Cruize-in her in Ontario Canada last year and all I have to say is he's a true gentleman and it was truly a pleasure to talk with him. He doesn't look 84
Albie/SuperFleye: Sincere thanks for your comments ! Much more from Gene and the other Legends coming soon. Jonnie
i seen him at road rocket rumble this year. he was signing autographs and i tried to take his pic and he hollered at me and said come on over and take a pic with me bring your son so we did and he took the time to talk with me and my son even though there were people waiting for his autograph he was a really nice guy didnt seem bothered that i was a blubbering idiot.
He is a awesome guy!! Very down to earth and easy to talk to. I have had the pleasure of meeting and talking with him a few times now and very happy I have had the chance to!!!! Hope he is here for 84 more years!!
seatex, Everytime I'm in the presence of Winfield & Barris, I've gotta standback, get outta the way, and, duck for cover...'cause they're BOTH "Chick Magnets" !
Barris comes up here every year to the Fleetwood Cruize-in and they have a dance there as well . He's got the ladies lined up to dance. Another true gentleman who will spend all day talking with you. Can't believe I've been lucky enough to meet George and Gene
Cool! Thanks for sharing, I see Gene out at El Mirage all the time and he seems like one of the youngest guys there. Full of energy and still has an eye for the ladies.
mctim64... Gene has always loved to race ! He's still got his eye on a record run at Bonneville one of these days...and knowing Gene, if the weather co-operates, he'll make it. BUT, he never forgets his roots, as he talks about in our above Interview. JK
