[Fot] My favorite memory of Jack...

My engine was down on power after two seasons on those rings and I discovered 
this in my lap times at the Chicago Historics.

For the feature Jack said, "what the heck, let's put on a show".  We passed 
and re-passed about three times a lap,  and each time at Turn Five. The 
spectators on the bleachers started standing and cheering, we heard later.

On the last lap, at the last turn, I was ahead and did not want to be first 
at the chequered flag. I waved him up, but he did not respond. So I came off of 
the gas and then onto the brakes.      So did Jack.

Tony was watching. and said,  "that was first time he ever saw two cars cross 
the finish line with their noses in the 'down' attitude and brakes lights on".

(I am sure it was a point of discussion in the tower, too)   </HTML>
