Mr Guldstrand use to come into the shop at McLeod all the time. Such a kind man. When McLeod's Founder Red Roberts used to own McLeod, Red and Dick would sit in the lobby and tell stories of back in the day 60's and 70's era racing. All of the gear heads that worked here would never get anything done while those two were talking shop, we'd be so into the stories that we would lose sight of the work at hand. Great Times!!
