I met Steve in the spring of 77, he was living in my friends basement in Kokomo. But I didn't really know at the time that this guy was a transmission guru on a different level than anyone I knew. It wasn't till Indy that year he showed up in the campground in his old green Chevy truck. That was his test vehicle you could say. He had a trans brake in it and was showing us how it worked out there in grass launching this old truck. Eventually someone came around and put a stop to it. I got to know him personally several years later. Helped us out alot. Interesting person, smart, lot of common sense. I smile when I think of him. RIP
