She was very nice to work with and ran a good race.

Oh, I drove the #10 boat with Percy at Paris in 1977. Placed 3rd after blowing a gear case with a 3 lap lead - rig wa really fast. But, we all have stories....
Lee, yes we all have the "would of, should of ,could of stories". In 1972 I had a large lead over Mike Downatd in second with under 40 minutes to go, throttled back per instructions & threw a rod. Went to Berlin the next week, out front again in the 2nd hr. & yup broke another one.
