Well I hope Howard is reading this.... It would mean he is still around... and Howard it is not in your nature to give up on anything.
I'll tax your memory... we both were using 1 liter Kawasaki motors, you and Brian were running the original little liner.... before you built the big one. We both qualified, your streamliner, our lakester.... you guys made your record, we fried our clutch.
We had them announce we were looking for a clutch...
You said you had an extra... but you guys were still working to raise your record...
You then gave us your extra while Brian protested a little.... "what if we kill our clutch?"
Remember your answer....
"Then we'll be looking for a clutch"
Thanks for that, we set our record the next day, You raised yours a couple of times that year....
