I had the good fortune to interview him for Victory Lane Magazine a
number of years ago...
Easiest interview I ever had... All I said was "Hi Oscar, I'm from
Victory Lane..." 30 minutes later I ran out of tape... He was quite
happy to wait as I flipped over the cassette and was still goin'
strong when they dragged him away a few minutes later....
BTW, I found out later that back in CAN AM days it was Oscar
Kovaleski's wife and Madeline Davis (wife of Victory Lane Publisher
Dan Davis who filled an empty display can of SIMONIZE WAX with
butterscotch pudding and walked around the paddock eating "wax" out
of the can.

That's not a leak... My car's just marking its territory...
