Wow, holy camoli and no sh*t Sherlock!
Tommy was one of my favs long ago as a teenager. For whatever reason his cars and track performances were often front page "Drag News" material. Funny too as he was mainly a west coast racer but lots of us here in the Midwest knew of his exploits.
He did have a reputation as an exceptional nitro racer btw. Aside from sharp driving, he knew how to 'tip the can' as he went rounds and by the finals, that car was running IIRC 98% nitro! His win loss record was mighty good too.
Wish I could buy it, for sure!
