The neatest thing ever said to Me by a drag racer, was at the Reunion in Bowling Green, the time that the Winged Express was there. Big Mike Boyd was wrenching on the car , with his back to Me. His 15 yr. old son was wiping down the car,checking things out, and I asked the son if he knew how lucky He was? and with out missing a beat, or turning around, Big Mike says "yes sir I do" I can't wait to see the Express this year!

Hans Thorszelius is a former World Rally Champion Navigator. After a particularly nasty crash at the Olympus Rally, I asked him if the crash put them out. He said no we lost the time card (the scoring card that rally racing uses to time the event). I asked "how did you lose that?"

Steve answered "yeah?", then the roll overs began.
