I think it was the "nasty" right hander after the esses. I followed a lot of famous black marks to the inside of the turn through the grass, barely kissing the Armco with the front bumper.

About Carroll, I was working on getting him to do a book I used the working title "High Performance Fittings, Fasteners and Plumbing". Before we could get cranked up on it, HPBooks was sold and those left didn't pursue it. Carroll decided to publish the book himself.

Carroll was a neat guy. You never had to guess how he stood on things.
