I first met Herschel in 1951 or 52 at a car show in Fresno. He was with the Olds from the RR. I talked to him a few times when he ran here at Redwood Acres. My daughter still has a arm cast she was wearing one night in 69 or 70 and she had Herschel sign it..
I was sportscar fan in the 50's snd early '60's, owned an early Vette, a'56 Austin Healy LeMans and a '60 Lotus Super 7 ~ then I went back to motorcycles in '64. :)
