Think back about Jan for awhile. First off he got to live his dream, his way. First as a hippy, then as a Jesus supporter. He seen the highest of highs and obviously the lowest too. His trademark leather hat, a hand down from his fallen brother was his favorite thing on earth. As a side note, if I could pick any thing from any racer to have it'd be that beatup hat not some million dolllar car. Anyhow and now I'm no expert but just the fact that he competed in what during it's time was the most demanding racing there was one year after a severe head trama is beyond brave it's really super human. Now my own injury was 5 years ago. I still have a moment of brillance now and then and I think on a rare good day I'm still way fast and a better rider then ever. Problem is them good days dont come along often and how Jan raced after just one year off just blows my mind, I promise you there were days it must have been near impossible and still he strapped in. Odd's are he'd be alive today if he wasnt fearless, and didnt suffer his eventually life taking second major head trama. Always my hero and the original "outlaw"
