The Malcontent: Scotty Fenn's Self-Destruction In Drag Racing

from The Dork-O-Motive Podcast · host Brian Lohnes

There are few stories in the history of drag racing that can compare to that of Alfred Gordon Fenn, known as Scotty. He was a visionary and created the first commercial dragster chassis business in the world circa 1958, but his life story goes far, far beyond that. For the first time ever, learn the back story, learn the success story, his precipitous fall in the sport, and how he managed to continue his career for years after people thought that he had disappeared. One of the sports most off the wall, acerbic, and out-spoken characters, it was Scotty's mouth that no only sunk his business, but dead stopped a career that was on track to be one of the most influential in drag racing history.
