Tricks that old racers get up to after retirement

[lilabner]

Hey Gene, looks like my old friend and customer Dr Jack Greenberg on the left.. I will never forget him telling me "don't ever run. I have those runners on my table every day".. Great guy that really got taken for a ride.. When I heard about it I overhauled his 930 for free. When he decided to sell it, he sold it to me cheap.. This must have been a long distance race..

...the good doctor passed away exactly one year ago...

Thanks FUJIMO but I knew that. One of the nicest guys I ever knew.

''WE NEED A BIGGER BOAT"

Wasnt Rick the riding mechanic on that one Gene?
I did a great concept of that boat, but no takers. It joined the MALIBUSTANG under the bench. Coincidence or what, It was only yesterday I pulled it out.
Incidentally Im having a fire sale as I’m moving house , everything I have (30/40 raceboat concepts) is going. $150 each. Every one of them has been pictured on the “TRICKS” thread at one time or another.
Just email me on thejackwilson@icloud.com Promise I’ll get back to you SAP.

Saw on the news that Hamilton had another bit of luck today. He won the Bahrain GP. As he makes his way to hundred pole positions and a hundred GP F1 victories. Cours, he does have a half tidy form of transport in the Merc.
What .was it KIPLING wrote “If you can keep your head when all about you, are losing theirs ? “ etc.. I think Lewis must have been listening .
think thats nearly a dozen he came out on top. of course im told its all down to the car and very little to do with ability . Didnt Bottas have the same car?
