  My most serious accidents have happened on the street.  I so far have been lucky, really lucky,  and am still around.  I know people who bought the farm on the way to vintage races.  Last week I went to a restaurant in Juarez, Mexico the site of 800 plus murders so far this year, not the restaurant, but the city.  I ate the Tripitas and Sirloin Tacos, and likewise am still kicking.  Not the point.  The owner of the restaurant was a racer and member of the Juarez sports hall of fame.  The restaurant was plastered with photos of his circle track career and one photo that struck me was of him and his buddies standing around after a race in 1954 and their safety equipment were leather football helmets.  He was in the restaurant and still had his dashing moustache he had from '54 and a twinkle in his eye at 81 years old.  I did my best to converse with him in my broken spanish and I could only imagine the racing adventures he had survived.  I don't wanna die in bed, in a crash, or eating Tripitas.  But if I do, I'd rather go out gritting my teeth, foot to the floor, and relishing every bite...................................Henry Morrison, One medium large glass of rather cheap Chilean Cab/Merlot mix
