I always made a point of dropping by and talking to John when we were at =
the same race weekend, always at Summit Point and sometimes in =
Pittsburgh. I think the last time I saw him was this past Spring at the =
Jefferson 500. John was supported by John Baucom (Motorsports), who =
always had that TR3 (and its replacement Tr3 #2) looking great and =
running well. Hasty told me he planned to celebrate his 89th birthday =
at Roebling Road with VDCA this past December - didn=E2=80=99t quite =
make it.=20
I often cite John as my role model in vintage racing - I hope I=E2=80=99m =
still racing in 20+ years, as he was. Five years ago, he was a front =
runner. Even this past year, still solidly mid-pack or better. He was =
my image of a true southern gentleman lawyer, and I mean that in the =
best possible way!
RIP, John. I=E2=80=99ll run some laps in your honor at Summit Point =
this Spring.

Our kind of people, no doubt. You will be missed, my friend...
