I doubt Ralph Truppi would have appreciated Bernie street racing. I do have a real neat Bernie story but I won't put it in writing. Those same pictures and a few others were used in a bunch of articles. Norman is a great photograher. One of the articles came out the year after we won the world championship. And Wally Parks brought a copy to us and wanted to know more. I explained that that was from about 6 years ago. Told him I could show him the same pics in 5 year old magazines. And nothing more was said.
But the one thing we got over on was that neither Tex or I had a drivers license when we were racing in B/SA. Luckily nobody asked to see one.
