just a quick note about your dad, probably befour you were born. I remeber goint to the St Petersberg race in 1976 [we had the Flying machine 27 Cigerett] Your dad had a black caddy Seville with fire painted on the side. I could not beleive anyone could do that to a new Caddelack but he did, and after I met him I understood. Your dad enjoyed doing things in the face of convention and in a little town like St Pete back than this was Blastremy! I thank most of the guys back then saw him as somone they wished they had the nerve to be. I am sorry for your loss
