Rick,
We will miss our time with Duck at Road America. Seeing him each year =
at the SVRA Spring Vintage Festival and catching-up with him was always =
a great start to our season. We would usually spend a good hour =
together at the start of the event I originally met Duck at Skip Barber =
Driving School and at events that I participated in. That was when =
Skip Barber was really rolling as an organization and doing well. =
Before the last owners destroyed it.=20
Duck was always willing to share what he knew about a track, track maps =
that he had put together and videos that he made. If you ever did a van =
ride with Duck at Road America, you got to learn some really good stuff =
from him. He would teach you things and never make you feel dumb =
because he knew more than you. That is a rare quality these days.
Rick is correct about Duck going fast in little cars. I have a video =
that Duck did in a Bobsy and he could really fly in that little car. He =
really liked Bobsy=E2=80=99s. When I asked him about Bobsy one day, he =
called them =E2=80=9Chonest little cars.=E2=80=9D He was very =
comfortable driving them. =20
We will miss seeing Duck driving around the paddock on a scooter, or in =
his car with his dog.
Duck helped me a lot and I am sure that he will be missed by many.
