wned and extremely well driven by Mark Wheatley.=C2=A0 It is a joy to see i=

I dont want to bore everyone with a hundred stories of that '92 weekend.=C2=
=A0 But, here's my favorite..Charlie and I remain great friends even tho he=
 races some Jap thingy now.=C2=A0 We had been running literally door handle=
 to door handle all weekend long and having a great time at it.=C2=A0 His w=
ife Betty passed away some years ago but she and my wife Sandy were on the =
hillside at the keyhole for the "big" race that weekend.=C2=A0 During the r=
ace as we continued to come thru the corner either nose to tail or side by =
side Betty says to Sandy "I sure am glad Charlie doesnt take this too serio=
usly and only does it for fun".=C2=A0 Sandy bit her lip and said nothing.=
=C2=A0 After the race she got Charlie off to the side and told him that he =
would "owe her forever" for not explaining to Betty just how seriously we d=
id, in fact, take it.=C2=A0=C2=A0
Ok, one more... in the paddock he blipped the throttle and it ran up more l=
ike an F1 car of the era.=C2=A0 "Charlie you POS, it's supposed to have a f=
lywheel on it!"=C2=A0 His reply "It does".... "Well it's supposed to have a=
 weight at least in two digits"...."It does!=C2=A0 Eight point five"
Dear God, there are so many more Charlie Kates stories both that weekend an=
d thru the years.
