Amen to that dude! When I was in high school my two older brothers and I crewed for a USAC sprint owner named Dave Hodson, from Richmond, Indiana. Several guys drove the car. Richmond, Rice, Irvin, Hicks, Parsons, and yes, even SuperDuke.
Here is a photo of the car, with JP and his famous "Gettin' Dirty" helmet. As you can tell, he was exciting! The photo credit goes to Mahoney or Crucean, I forget which one took it.
Thanks for the fun times and GREAT career JP! Happy retirement! :applaud:
David.
