Wonderful guy and a great racer. I saw him last year at Monterey. He looks
very spry and fit. There's no shame in believing in something that probably
isn't true. Remember how many real scientists got excited about cold fusion.
Currently my major beliefs are about beer--I believe I'll have another one.

I wonder if it is a matter of cashing in on his name. He seems to be
doing
more of that these days. (I would!)
I sense he deserves the credit for the inertial barrier safety devices,
but
someone wrestled that company away from him in some kind of coup, it
appears. I
have a business card from him that indicates that he is working with
another
company with similar safety designs...as of 1997.
Now he has a $29.95 poster out for sale with an added $10 for his
autograph.
Good idea and he deserves to cash in on his name.....
I was at his home a few years ago....it is hard to tell what his
financial
circumstances are as his home was built in about 1774. :-) Wonderful
setting
with lovely old barn containing one of the car's that bears his name.
A WWII fighter pilot who shot down an early German jet with a Mustang
51D,
this alone makes him one of our national treasures, then to drive for
the German
a scant few years after the war, makes him quite extraordinary.
Sailor, Fighter Pilot, Racedriver, Entrepreneur, and regarded as one of
the
world's gentleman.....I just hope to live to be his age.
After reading the website info on the Fitch Fuel Catalyst, I remain
skeptical, about the aftermarket add on. But what do I know?
Now alert after Turkey Nap.
