Bummer.
I saw him race many times over the years. He was an avid vintage racer and
once I saw him start at the back of the field and within 10 laps clawed his
way to the front and win in his Cooper Monaco, a car he has owned and raced
for almost 30 years. What was most impressive is that it was dome at Lime
Rock which is a narrow windy track.
