What prompted this was a message Rocky sent to the W2W list, which I will
include below. I was going to remind him of the numerous kind words sent to
this list last week about Lee Mueller when I happened to wonder if Rocky was
on this list as for some reason I assumed he was. He is now.

Can't believe this one hasn't hit the net yet, but we lost another great one
last week.
Lee Mueller.

Two memories:
A photo of Wichita Region driver Rick Estes and Mueller in their MGBs side
by side, taken from the roof of the clubhouse at Hallett. It looks like
Estes is giving Mueller all he can handle. Actually, Mueller was lapping
Rick.
Paul Newman winning his first National Championship in 1976 after a stirring
dice with Mueller -- Lee in the new and factory-backed TR7 and Newman
putting it away with the "old" TR6. Margin of Victory was 0.84 of a second.
