It is a joy to see it every time its at the track with us.</div><div><br></div>I dont want to bore everyone with a hundred stories of that '92 weekend. But, here's my favorite..<div>Charlie and I remain great friends even tho he races some Jap thingy now. We had been running literally door handle to door handle all weekend long and having a great time at it. His wife Betty passed away some years ago but she and my wife Sandy were on the hillside at the keyhole for the "big" race that weekend. During the race as we continued to come thru the corner either nose to tail or side by side Betty says to Sandy "I sure am glad Charlie doesnt take this too seriously and only does it for fun". Sandy bit her lip and said nothing. After the race she got Charlie off to the side and told him that he would "owe her forever" for not explaining to Betty just how seriously we did, in fact, take it. </div><div><br></div><div>Ok, one more... in the paddock he blipped the throttle and it ran up more like an F1 car of the era. "Charlie you POS, it's supposed to have a flywheel on it!" His reply "It does".... "Well it's supposed to have a weight at least in two digits"...."It does! Eight point five"</div><div><br></div><div>Dear God, there are so many more Charlie Kates stories both that weekend and thru the years.</div><div><br></div><div>Mike</div><div><blockquote style="padding-left: 5px; margin-left: 0px; border-left: #0000ff 2px solid; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial,sans-serif; color: black;">-----Original Message-----
