Hi Frued
This is the best racing story i have ever heard, about being a stand up guy and how it does no pay to cheat another racer as they don't forget a thing.
In the early 70's young Macelreath was tyring to make the show at the speedway on bump day, and about 20 mph off the pace.
JIm McKay from ABC tv was saying why don't they wave him off the track, so Salt Walther can get in the field in a new team Penske McLaren car his dad had just bought for bump day as Salt had bent his other cars.
Well years later while having lunch with Bobby Strulman & Rocky Phillips from Champion Spark plugs, the story came and Rocky says Don you never heard what happened .
Well it turns out that Salt had skipped out on paying a few bucks to Jim Macelreath and he never forgot, figuring some day he would get even well you could write a better script than keeping his kid on the track till the gun wen't off and the starting grid was set.
So pour old Salt sat there in his brand new M16 ready to go out and surely would have put it in the middle of the pack, boy you talk about getting even and then some.
Like they say what goes around & comes around.
