Met Chuck Nelson at Indy in 1990. He was very polite and well dressed as he stood in front of my car and suggested I might never want to bring my Camaro to Division 4 as a
SS/BA car unless it had an aluminum block in it. I think my old friend Jim Hale put him
up to that.

Chuck also looked out for other people too. Once, in Atlanta, Joe Tech was having fun
with a giant blue baby bottle with a huge nipple on it. He would poke it towards a racers face at the slightest hint of disagreement with an officials opinion. Chuck probably saved
Joe Tech from being involved in a potentially dangerous physical altercation when he
suggested Joe might want to consider quitting that behavior.

I never took the car to Division 4.

RIP Chuck.
