Hi Parker,
When I first started Googling Violator, I came across your posts about your father. My belated condolences. While I was not deeply involved in the Rabco-rave of the 80's. I would always stop to watch them go by. In fact, I could hear them from my backyard on Paradise Island when they would run by in the gulf. The Don Cesar/Green Streets era was notorious. Between Violator and Miami Vice, I knew what my hoppy was going to be.
I signed up for Scream and Fly. Where shall I look for the photos?

Maybe black hulls will be back in style and I can call it Violator. If so, will stop by and give Tom a ride.
