    #2.=20

    I was standing outside the fenceline at IRP facing the RH carousel =
that goes to LH turn onto the main straight.  A red Turner stepped =
sidways, caught the sidewalls,  and rolled, ending up in the infield =
grass=20

    The next car through was Uncle and he pulled immediately off of the =
track and went to the aid of the driver.=20

    I caught him in the pits, getting out of his car.  He put his arms =
on my shoulders and lost it.                       He said,  "I thought =
it was Irv".=20



    Yeah, I remember that one as well. Lots of bad things happened in =
that race, and it was probably the reason that VSCDA stopped going to =
Indianapolis Raceway Park. I came in after the red flag, Jack was =
already in the paddock. Before I had even gotten out of the car, and =
with tears in his eyes, he hugged me and told me that he thought it had =
been me that had rolled over.

    Another favorite memory also at IRP. My first race there was in =
1999, my 3rd race ever. Jack told me that in a TR4, you could go through =
corner 1 flat out in 4th. I worked my way up to it, and of course he was =
right. Passed several guys going into 1 thanks to that tip. He never =
told me that I could do that in corner 2 as well. He saved that one for =
Tony. :-)

    Jack built an engine for my car, and when it was ready, I came out =
for the weekend so we could put it in the car and I could take the car =
home. We got everything installed, and the engine wouldn't turn at all. =
After much discussion, it was determined that the new flywheel bolts =
were too long. I went home that Sunday evening without my car. The next =
morning, around 11:00 AM, Jack called me. He said "listen to this" and =
my new engine roared to life. By 11:00, he had pulled the tranny, =
removed the flywheel, shortened the bolts, re-installed the tranny, and =
had it running.=20

    You guys that only met him on the phone or via email and thought he =
was special, you were right. The luckiest of all were the ones that got =
to be with him.
