I agree with Tom:
I raced with John Fitch at the Lime Rock Vintage Festival. He was driving
Bob Sirna's 300SL and finished 6th in our class. I doubt anyone thinks any
less of John, and his contributions to Road Racing over many years as a
competitor and inventor of road safety devices just because he didn't "blow
the doors off" the competition at this event. John is 82 years old, and is
an international legend in road racing, and indeed a gentlemen, as I found
out as I got acquainted with him in the paddock. I am proud to have raced
with him.
