In his late teens, a local auto body owner and Lott’s Electric employee, sparked Mike’s interest in fast cars. Unbeknownst to his parents, Mike built a motor for his ’67 Camaro in the basement of their home. A family member stated, “By golly, was Randy sur- prised.” After graduating from Heppner High School, Mike attended Blue Moun- tain Community College.
