Come on! Times have changed and you should use your experiences and knowledge better than this.
for your info! The late great gary patterson gave that nick name! And we where good friends! He stayed we me at my place in indy! And i stayed with him in sac.ca. Not terry baltes!!!! You face it 90% of the people on this site don't know me or care too! I'am just a crazy old man that as seen and done more racing then any body on this site! I don't hide behinded names like ( bigbud man) mowerman and others here! If you and you wife was not happy with meeting me maybe you did not inpress me so we don't owe each other a dime! I live in sidney ohio 90 miles north of cincy so if they say rain i just said what they they said and your friends jump on my ass! And you all talk about being negative! Think about it? Look at the ages of most members here! I quit racing before they where born! And yet they tell me how bad a driver i was! I feel most here only want to here what they want and not want to hear whats really going on in racing so please stop it! Opions are like ass holes everybody has one
