Miller is an engineer who first got the racing germ at age 17. The year was 1972 and Miller was crewing for a Formula Ford team out of Burlington, Iowa. Not long after he had his first actual duties behind the wheel, mashing his foot to the floor of a 1969 Dodge Charger in the NHRA Stock classes.<\/p>\n<p>Not satisfied with 15,840-inches of drag strip pavement, Miller decided to try his skills at road racing. He and friend, Jim Putnam, purchased a Lola T620 Super Vee rolling chassis (# HU-25) in the early part of 1978 while they we were both living in Iowa. At the time Putnam was racing a Formula Ford, and Miller had become the team\u2019s mechanic. According to Miller they took delivery of the T620 in February of \u201978 at Carl Haas\u2019 Lola shop in Highland Park, Illinois.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n        .memberful-global-teaser-content p:last-child{\n            -webkit-mask-image: linear-gradient(180deg, #000 0%, transparent);\n            mask-image: linear-gradient(180deg, #000 0%, transparent);\n        }\n    <\/style>\n<div class='memberful-global-marketing-content'>\n<div class=\"a07online-global-marketing-content-wrapper\">\n<h2 class=\"a07online-global-marketing-title\">No Subscription?
