Now, I wish I had written down a few details of each race instead of just the track and date.
I remember seeing Johnny Coogan have a huge crash at Terre Haute. Don't believe he competed much after that. Someone told me last summer that Johnny is now a deputy sheriff somewhere in the central Indiana area and that he had pulled them over for speeding.
The crash broke his jaw - among other things - and he could only take liquids. So when he got a jones for mexican food, his wife liquefied some burritos in the blender and he "ate" them with a straw.
