<DIV>Burt is a driver for the Chump Car Alfa GTV that I crew
for. He is a hoot – there is no story</DIV>
<DIV>you can know that he does not know the best part of. He
is a pretty fair shoe, turning laps</DIV>
<DIV>at R/A within a tenth or two of some really good SCCA national drivers that
also drive the</DIV>
<DIV>Alfa. Also, he made my special Buzzard Breath Chile world famous if
not exactly a </DIV>
<DIV>household word. He is old enough that I started racing a TR3
only one year before he</DIV>
<DIV>did. Makes him damn old.</DIV>

<DIV>Burt's a long time friend, and I'm a fan. His books, especially the
first one, are special to road racing aficionados. 'The Last
Open Road' is often described as Catcher in the Rye on wheels. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If you want to develop a bad habit, get a copy of his 'Potside Companion',
which is a 'coffee table/collage type book' of his many, many short
stories. But don't set it out on a coffee table. Use it as
designed. Keep a copy right there by the toilet. The articles are
just the right length for a session. Some of them are longer, and might
keep you seated and straining longer than you should. I think I'm
developing hemorrhoids.</DIV>

<DIV>PS If Burt's earthy style is too much for you, Plan B would be the same
type of book, but by Peter Egan. God I miss that guy's stuff in Road and
Track. I wish he'd come out of retirement. I met and raced with both
of these guys at Blackhawk Farms Raceway. Both have TRIUMPH
bloodlines. </DIV><BR><BR>

<DIV class=aolmail_MsoNormal>Hi guys, I hate to pull early age rank on
your early involvements at Watkins Glen, but I was at the Glen during the last
two races on the original course, 1951 & 1952. 1952 was just prior to
going into the Air Force. To say the Glen had a lingering affect on me, just
ask me three years later while I was enjoying the Nurburgring and other
courses in Europe. I am glad that you had those early experiences on the new
Glen and I am proud of you. Bob Johns
