The Can Am series has been coming to Las Vegas for a few years to the Stardust International Raceway. The track was west of the Strip by several miles (now a housing development). Ditching class on a Friday I go out to watch practice and after getting a ticket for under $5 I head for the pits. Jim Hall is there with the high wing Chaparral, the mighty McLaren’s of Bruce and Denny Hulme are warming up. John Surtees and the magnificent sounding Ferrari is sorting out mechanicals. Just being able to walk up to any car and driver, take a picture, get an autograph, what a privilege.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>While watching the action I hear an English voice over my shoulder. I turn and there stands Stirling Moss, a ‘bird’ under each arm, and he is explaining what is going on to two of the most gorgeous gals this 16 year old had ever seen. I was so stunned I could not even ask for an autograph but I sure watched as he wandered the pits and talked to all the drivers. The ‘birds’ seemed to be ever so happy to be given such a personal tour. What a legend was Sir Stirling Moss, in more ways than one!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Cheers all and Stay Safe, Ken<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
