1. Still think that I'm the only race official that Bill Simpson tried to punch during the 83 Indy 500. My wife is still waiting for my share of the $10,000. fine and willing to let others take thier shots if she gets a share of the fine. After 30yrs being married I think she isn't so picky on the dollar amount and may be willing to pay now.
2. Perfected my navigation skills flying back and forth to Indy and other races. At the time I didn't know it would be while doing it upside down and doing slow rolls or four hour cross country trips under a hood. I miss those lessons with my father inlaw, including a few bridges we went under. RIP
3. Still get lost getting to tracks I've been to a hundred times. Never got lost on remote hiking or fishing trips. I am a expert with a compass in the woods just can't seem to drive you to certian race tracks. I've sence learned Salem In. is not in KY, I knew I did not cross a big river the last time I went there.
4.Try to convence A J Watson his indy car had a mechanical problem. After all I was just some young kid and that spinning compressor wheel on the ground couldn't have been from his car, it wasn't possible. The car had just pulled out of it's pit for it's first warm up laps.
5. Yes motor homes will go 90mph + on the PA turnpike. Yes tickets are expencive and your passengers don't won't to go that fast in them.
