I think you might call me accident prone.<\/p>\n

I had the Miller 4WD car that Dean Butler has now, and I took it out to Pikes Peak. I was hoping to bring it back and run it in the very first Watkins Glen race, but the transfer box busted. I came back and the only car I had was this Type 35 Bugatti, which was the car I used everyday, so I decided to enter that in the first race. I managed to get up into 3rd place but that was on the last lap coming down the long hill on the original circuit. I really had to work at it and I passed one guy, but when I got into the corner, I was going much too fast. I was standing on the brakes, but I couldn\u2019t slow the damned thing down; I went around the corner and the tail broke loose, it spun around, hit the hay bales going backwards, and then it flipped over in front of a barber shop.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
