When I was a sophomore in HS my mechanical drawing teacher was a guy named Fred Jones who as it turned out used to crew for Peppy Fernandez. We used to BS about racing a lot and one day he told me about a time they were headed to Nazareth in Peppy's old bus that he used to tow with. They stopped and picked up a hitchhiker somewhere near the toll bridge and after riding a few miles, the guy looked around and saw Pep's name on the car. He then asked (no offense, just repeating a story, lol) "hey are you Mexican?" Peppy stopped and threw him off the bus. |
