I can remember riding with my neighbor in his XK 120 down to Thompson, CT. and watching as he strapped on his helmet, took second place in the feature road race, then driving back home again on a glorious June Saturday.

I can remember getting my 911S' motor pulled, new heads bought and installed (old ones burnt up from running too much Av gas) and reassembled, all by a Porsche Dealer, for $450.00.

I can remember our team (UOP Shadow) snatching the pole from Peter Revson's McLaren on the last lap in qualifying at the Elkhart Lake Can-Am in 1971 and then proceeding to drink ourselves silly that night at Siebken's.
A feat, oft repeated, (getting silly-drunk at Siebken's, that is!) but never with the fun and friendship of that evening.
