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.

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........
