John...
Burt's a long time friend, and I'm a fan. His books, especially the first one,
are special to road racing aficionados. 'The Last Open Road' is often
described as Catcher in the Rye on wheels.
If you want to develop a bad habit, get a copy of his 'Potside Companion',
which is a 'coffee table/collage type book' of his many, many short stories.
But don't set it out on a coffee table. Use it as designed. Keep a copy right
there by the toilet. The articles are just the right length for a session.
Some of them are longer, and might keep you seated and straining longer than
you should. I think I'm developing hemorrhoids.

PS If Burt's earthy style is too much for you, Plan B would be the same type of
book, but by Peter Egan. God I miss that guy's stuff in Road and Track. I
wish he'd come out of retirement. I met and raced with both of these guys at
Blackhawk Farms Raceway. Both have TRIUMPH bloodlines.

Burt Levy has written about the early days at the Glen in a few of his books.
It is entertaining historical reading of fiction and non-fiction combined.

Hi guys, I hate to pull early age rank on your early involvements at Watkins
Glen, but I was at the Glen during the last two races on the original course,
1951 & 1952. 1952 was just prior to going into the Air Force. To say the Glen
had a lingering affect on me, just ask me three years later while I was
enjoying the Nurburgring and other courses in Europe. I am glad that you had
those early experiences on the new Glen and I am proud of you. Bob Johns
