You are talking about Richard Taylor, a true Southern Gentleman. He drives his
TR4 to the track, changes tires, races it all weekend, changes tires, and then
drives it home. In the stories that I have read about "Glacier Girl", a P-38
that was recovered from the ice of Greenland, Richard is described as an
adventurer. I'm lucky to have met him.
