That's an excellent description, Josh.
One of the kids, Tomas Stokl, I believe, an immigrant from the Czech
Republic was really talented. I think he actually trophied in the CSP points
race. There was a Killer Pintos from Outer Space Autocross School that I got
to teach at. I was amazed at what a natural driver he was, and his humility
more than I could stand. HOW did he do that, I demanded. "Oh, it's not so
good," said this seventeen year old. "Oh, I have many, many problems. It's
just not right." He made it look so easy.
Dan Cole had offered a ride in his BM Silver Fox to the top Killer Pinto
driver, which would have been Tomas, but when the season was over, we never
saw him again. Too bad.
