He worked at the Goodyear tire shop in Burlington for awhile in 69 and then went on to work at the Fort Madison Chev dealer for a time too. Tommy had racing in his blood big time, him and Herb Fox used to go at it over who could drive better. The good old days......

Another pic of Tommy Johnson's L88 Green '68 Camaro sponsored by Dale Love Chevrolet Fort Madison.
Just found it on my old confuser so thought it may as well be here w/ the others for anyone ever searching.
