I forgot to mention one other incredible bit of driving. In yesterday's race John Robinson lost his brakes as he went to pass Bill going into the right hander after the back straight. Standing in the elevated platform at that corner all we saw was John come into the turn at high speed driving 180 degrees backwards. Somehow John was able to keep the car going exactly backwards all the way down the track and into the sand trap. If John had even twitched the wheel a fraction of an inch the car would have snapped around and taken Bill out and probably Art Foster too.
John, I dont know how you kept the car going straight backwards at that speed, but I'm glad you did. Pretty sure we have it on the video, should be interesting to watch. Not bad for an old guy who just celebrated another birthday on Friday night at the Roadhouse.
