Gemsa's place was on Rush, good memory! Don't know what happened to his stuff. I heard that when his daughter went to the foundry to get his patterns after he passed, she was given a big box of stuff, when she opened it, it was full of broken concrete! Fitting end for a guy that screwed a lot of people! I think Coopers dragster was gone long before he passed? Don't know any history on it. When Cooper passed, his stuff disappeared in a matter of days! Guys were there as his services were being held! He had a daughter in Australia, and was a nice person. Some of the important stuff went to friends, but a lot of it just disappeared.
