I miss him too, even though I'm at the other end of the country. He loaned me his helmet to race at E-town, the only time I was that far East. From that time until 3 years ago, we chatted often.

I've always wondered if JPee's AH had come on and activated one front brake on that last pass?

John was quit the character, I consider myself lucky to have been involved in such a great race series with so many nice people.

RIP
