He was involved in all sorts of racing not just AMC but we remember him for 
the grueling Baja race in the SC/Ramblers!

"1969 Baja Hurst SC/Rambler With Memo. One of 12 made. 2 known to exist. 
Possibly one of the most unusual photos I have is of one of the dozen Hurst 
SC/Ramblers used for racing in the Mexican Baja race. Yes, these had the 390 
AMX engine, and were prepared by Hurst, but also modified heavily by 
Garner's AIR (American International Racers) Team. Bumped from 315 to now 
410 horsepower, AIR Team could blast down the Baja at speeds as high as 140 
miles per hour & 7000 RPM. While modified with lift kits, front/rear 
springs, cut wheelwells, Goodyear 10x15 tires, roll cages, no glass and 44 
gallon fuel cells.....two of these special SC/Ramblers were modified to FOUR 
WHEEL DRIVE chassis!"
