Herman and Virgina were one of the best during their time . I will never forget when Herman was doing my engines during the early 70's . we went to test at Irwindale,Ca ( sp) and after a test run I came back and of course pitted right next to Herman . of all things my starter just fell off the engine hanging there , and Herman came up to me and said Don , no sense in coming out to race if you are not fully prepared to run with no mistakes , ever since then I blame Herman for my over the top getting ready way early to go to a race with my very well learn lesson of being ready to run when your get there no mistakes . lol
