So it is Riverisde 1958. The Caravan Motel, where all the races stayed. I
am waiting to check in the fellow ahead of me is Sterling Moss. He finished
up and I introduced myself, he wanted to know what I was racing. I told
him a TR-3 and he smiled and then talked to me for twenty minutes about my
car and the Triumphs in general & the track and racing and was so kind and
truly interested. Then he spoke about his Aston Martin. He took the time
was very kind. Grand guy and a terrific racer. Always been my favorite.

<p>Hi Everyone. Happy Easter.</p>
<p>Ah Sir Stirling. I have a great story about him.</p>
<p>At the Mid Ohio Can Am in '71 I was on=C2=A0 Oscar Koveleski'=
;s crew
(weekend warrior). Those were the days when all the talk was about
dieting and calories.</p>
<p>Oscar's wife Elaine and his mechanic Jack Deren's wife Terry=
got
a scheme up: They got an empty J Wax can and cleaned it out. J Wax
was the series sponsor. Sir Stirling was the spokesman and celeb
at the races. Elaine and Terry filled up the can with butterscotch
pudding which looks about like the wax. They sashayed up to Moss
and asked how many calories were in the stuff. Then they swirled
their fingers in the can's contents and plopped them in their
mouths. Sir Stirling's eyes about came out of his head! Great fun
and he took it well. He was quite a guy.</p>
<p>Think I can make this crap up? It's in one of Pete Lyons' Ca=
n Am
books.</p>
<p>OBTW: I supplied the can!</p>
<p>Great times.</p>
<p>Cheers Bill</p>
<p>PS: At that race Sir Jackie Stewart won in a Lola and Jo Siffert
was second in a Porsche 917 PA. Both Denny Hulme and Peter Revson
had dropped out. Third was Tony Adamowicz in Oscar's McLaren M8B;
Bruce's 1969 car. We had a good party that night! I'll tell y=
ou a
story about that at another time.<br>
