Jon...that is great stuff!

Thanks, Fred. I'm glad you're enjoying it. Here is some more from the morning edition of the Daytona Beach newspaper that I forgot I had.

12 and 24 hour endurance racing...alone... Wow! Money finish or not, that's quite an achievement.

I agree, Fred. I have a lot of respect for what he did.

Nice recognition for him.
