Herb McClandless started drag racing in 1959 at the age of 16. He was immediately hooked and “Mr. 4 Speed” was born. Herb earned the nickname because of his ability to shift a manual transmission while making it sound as smooth as an automatic. Herb is from an era of racing where the racer was the engine builder, mechanic, truck driver, and race car driver all rolled into one.
