Dinner with the gods ... kewl
Dale C.
Thank you Tom -thats great news. Yes I too admire Bill and
his outlook on
life. I've been honored to have had dinner with him twice;
once in 1990 and
again in 1998 when I hung around his and son Steve's pit
helpin' out a lil'
bit. Whilst we were dining in '98, Al Teague slid in next
to me to chat
with Bill. Al was bummmed about his new record in
B/streamliner -set that
day, while breaking an old Markley Bros. record, was not by
a very large
margin.... Bill,-and I both told Al that a record is a
record and that he
should be proud of his achievement. Of course being the
quintesential
racer,that did'nt change his point of view one bit... Al's
a super guy in
my book as well. And I don''t think I'll get an argument
on that one. Bill
also fixed me up with a 200 MPH club dinner ticket in '89 as
well. A super
guy. A gentleman. One of my heroes. And I don't have many.
Well,maybe I do; I do "pay attention" in life and "keep
score" of the GOOD
guys. Unfortunately though, they're far outnumbered by the
-well let's just
say they're outnumbered and leave it at that...
Cheers,
