“By the way, I wondered if you were annoucing one sunday,many moons ago? I ran a blue ’57 Chevy 301, 488 rears, really mint. After time trials, and multi Beer lunch at Sams, I was yelled at by announcer to get off track for being drunk, wonder if you recall ? ”

Thank God we don’t drink like that any more . I remember Seymour would go for lunch at sam’s every sunday I was afraid to let him pack our parachute found that one out the hard way . Right off the end of the track and into the dirt. When I got out of the car the chute fell out of the pack and onto the ground.

BILLY….T H A T Is some funny S**T right there …..and Seymour stuttering “wa happened ? ” . . . Is that why he never drove it ?

[masracingtd1167Participant]

Seymour realy never had much interest in driving. He tried it one time and said thats it you drive .he was a good partner and a good friend still IS. He just got tired of it and just wanted to do some other things. WE sure had alot of fun.

I remember everyone calling Billy “Speed” at his Getty station on McLean Ave in Yonkers. When was that, early 70’s Bill? You kept wishing you were cool enough to race a Ford! I remember it well. 😆
