My day with Herk  

Back in the 70s Pat Singer and I were at Syracuse for dirt week. Well Saturday was nothing but rain and things got called for the day. Well we ran into Herk and after a bit of what we going to now we decided to go up to the Glen where the US Grand Prix was running . Soooo Herk says to do you know how to get there? Nope . Well Don follow me. Can you imagine trying to keep up with him through the hills and twists going to the Glen! Let's just say Pat put some fingernail marks in her dash! So we get there in one piece and walk around the pits with Herk and the first person we run into is Mario so we BS with him under the umbrella til he needs to and we go back to strolling the pits and who do we meet next , Linda Vaughan who comes running over to get under the umbrella with Herk, Pat and me. Now think about this 20 something kid standing toe to toe with Linda under this umbrella with Herk just carrying on for about Twenty minutes in the pouring rain. My back got soaked(you can figure out why ) but it was a ride and a rainy day I will always remember for sure.
