Czaplewski made a good wheel. A guy walked up to me one day and handed me a prop he found on the beach. Czaplewski , but he couldn't find the owner: run it he said. The next day I ran second to Tommy Marcel in the first heat of ASH and second to Ron France in the second heat: good prop, who ever beat Tommy and Ron on the same day.
?
When I got home , I tested , went up and gained a 1/2 mph . The next run a blade broke off. I never went that fast agian.

I was parked beside him , maybe at Wakefield in the 70's but couldn't get an ASR wheel. He would do an ASH wheel so I sent him a box of broken props to make a 3 blade. Then he died. ; a loss he was good.
