Doctor Brian "EL CID" Ewald
I'm not sure when I met Brian Ewald, but it was probably about 1966 at the Parker 9 Hour. He owned a Grand National boat named "El Cid"...the movie "El Cid" had just come out. I don't really know how long he raced "El Cid". I know his son drove Jerry Gilbreath's MOD VP at Parker about 1985. Brian's daughter. Tracy, married the late Brad Miller about thirty years ago. Brian was an orthopedic surgeon at CHOC Hospital in Orange, not far from my house.
He passed about two months ago!(today is 12/19/14)
