You know it Seadog! :thumb: Happy belated birthday GaryB!
Like Robin Miller wrote, after GB hurt his arm in Syracuse, "Gary has more talent in his one good arm than most have in two". Well said Robin...so true. Were you guys in Ft. Wayne for the midgets when Gary made his comeback after the crash? (January '75 I believe?) Duct taped his left arm to the steering wheel (I have pics to prove it) and he won the 100 lap feature. THAT is guts and determination. Gary said he was actually a better driver after the arm injury. He claimed it taught him to be smooth instead of manhandling the car all the time. He always did extremely well on dry slick tracks after his injury. He did pretty well at Indy too. 1980 and 1991 were very cool years. :respect:
