Oh, yes, I think I remember that race. June of '65 if I remember right. Had some rain earlier in the week.
Ken Miles had the flu and asked me to step in. Yep, son, that was a fun time.
That ole white smoke was from a blown head gasket, I believe. See, back in those days, they didn't have them fancy rev limiters like they have now, so we just had to go by the tach. And they just weren't that close to bein' right back then.
Oh, how times have changed, it's really sumptin.
