We had to take a puddle jumper prop plane in a bad storm from Jacksonville to Gainsville. I was so glad when we landed for his sake, the race was postponed that year because of all the rain. Forgot to mention I am in South Carolina right now should be there tomorrow to watch, looking foward to 49 years later. Thanks Joe.

Joe---I was there in 84 never seen so much rain. The ditches had four or five feet in them.
