Tricks that old racers get up to after retirement

[John Schubert]

Oh you are talking about that night life. Yes it was me, and I remember asking my dad, Roy Ridgell, if I could go and he gave me the green light. To this day, I am not certain if I knew before what was in store for us, but I was not disappointed. And I don't remember how the money was exchanged, and who paid for what.

Don Pruett knew how to find and have a good time, and a once in a life time experience for me. Don also found a place near the Como shop. I would never had known the place existed, but Don led us there. I do not remember which Mercury (American) guys went on that escapade. The club was north of the race shop, a mile or two from the shop it seemed. For reference the city of Como is south of the shop, and this club was up the road in the opposite direction.

The legacy of Don Pruett - not forgotten on and off the race course.

Seebold paid with a credit card . Lynne saw the bill when the credit card bill came in the mail. Have to ask him what happened thereafter.

Very sad day indeed Johnno. This was not the way to end a great name.
Maybe Mercury will indeed resurrect it. But it’s a cut throat age we live in.
