But boy howdy sitting over beers with someone who has been on the front line of international racing for the past 50 years is a hoot.

Mike- Just curious, was it a tire going bad? Could you share some insight on the incident? The era of Colin Chapman and driver relationship is fascinating. For different incidents, both Clark and Chapman had to contend with the courts for negligence. Must have been enormous pressure for them on a personal level.
