| "Laguna Seca, Fall 1960, Turn 9: Bar- neson, Dickey, ??, myself, two more, and Walt Davis." | "Laguna Seca, Spring 1960, Turn 6: Myself, Ted Conrad, Atkinson, Gary Beitel, ???." |

| "... and then came the
day at Laguna Seca, Fall 1962 when Merle
Brennan's D Jag-Chevy couldn't keep its rear sheetmetal from threatening
to de- capitate yerstruly and I couldn't quite stay ahead of him for a
full lap, and John Timanus (#323)
was stuck watching the whole show. Baaaaad day!"
"My feeling at the time was that Merle should have been black-flagged because the car was a hazard to navigation, and indeed I was waving madly at the starter (can't remember if it was Dick or Don Seike) and making a throat-cutting motion across my neck while pointing at the flapping bodywork, but with no effect. So I thought it was a bad call on the part of the officials, at least. " |

| "More from Laguna Seca, Fall 1960, Turn 8: Myself and... I wish I could think of his name. He was a photographer who'd bought Bob Herda's car from the previous year." |
