I learned if you are always legal, and don't try to sneak things by him, he was a great guy. I was 23 first time I raced a points race. Had to pull a valve cover so he could check the head casting number, felt the sides of the block for motor mount bosses, made me take the plastic line off my fuel pressure gauge, outside the car, in front of the windshield. That was a common thing at that time. The car in the tech line that went right through in front of me with no comment had the same thing. I can't argue about that plastic line now. I was fairly monkey-see-monkey-do back then. Just trying to do what the "fast guys" did. :-) After tearing me down the 2nd time, and passing easily, he would actually smile at me sometimes. LOL
Wesely was a whole lot like him. If your stuff is right, both were your friend. If you couldn't keep your stuff right, well........
