Met Ken Miles many times, never knew him very well, recall the MG Shingle. He was a fixture on the West Coast racing seen. Dave McDonald was a very close friend of my God Brother, remember his Corvette battles with Frank Search and Herb Kaplan more than his Cobra drives. Feel that Mickey Thompson was responsible for his death at Indy, McDonald was very uncomfortable with the 4 wheel steering car. That was my first and last time at Indy, horrible memory. Shelby was
the big act to admire on the West Coast, the first time we saw a real factory effort. Then guys like Penske entered the seen with a total professional approach. Finally it became such big $$ that
only the very wealthy or sponsored could compete.
