Ok...might as well hijack the thread a bit longer (Rick Lake's fault
)...
I'm sitting in the car strapped in waiting to go out at Fontana SAAC a few years ago. I had earlier told Dick I was a little nervous about the high banking...never been on any before.
So he comes up and starts talking about the transitions between the high banking and the inner course and just trying to make me relaxed a bit. Then Mark Roe comes across our group's line-up and into the grass...on fiire and smoking with Mark jumping out of it and standing there watching his car burn a little.
Dick looks at me and says..."that ain't nuthin...just don't hit anything" and starts laughing. I called him something befitting his humor at that moment.
If i recall correctly...Cranky ran him off the road. Sort of a Jersey "hi y'all"
