Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Why is the Sebring racetrack so rough?

[red5hilser (red5hilser]

Hey Doug: GONE - but not forgotten. After picking it up out of the trash barrel 
I turned around and some guy offered me $100 for it. I said "no", and he 
replied, "How much to make it mine?" "Still not for sale." BTW, that nose cone 
sat on the pole at Indy that year. I also had a large collection of bongs that 
I had confiscated and collected when I was a cop. They disappeared too. I've 
always had the idea that my kids had something to do with the mysterious 
disappearance. Hey Marlene, do you know anything about it?
 
Yer pal, Ferrari Bubba

Yikes - I hope she didn't throw out the nose cone from Foyts 1968 (?) USAC car. 
Remember you found that in the trash at the Rex Mays 300 Riverside Raceway 
after Friday's practice.

Yeah Willi - your ever-loving first had a temper - I recall the tin of biscuits 
she made for breakfast the day of the race come flying out of the kitchen at 
you when your big Weinmaraner dog, Tustin, yawned and you remarked that "If I 
had a tongue like that I would have to get an unlisted phone number." heh heh
