@JettRink50 Which did you meet, the dad or the son? If it was the dad, killed in '55, he disliked the media intensely and they knew it, so the smarter media gave him plenty of room. I know less about his son Billy, who raced from '68 to '80 at Indy. I know he wrote his dad a good luck note which Bill was carrying when he left the track and left this world.
Thanks, I met Billy at Trenton one year. He was very nice to me, yet the photographers were afraid to go near him.
