The Mclaren M8f

In 1972 my Dad tied for 2nd with Denny Hulme in the Can -Am Championship against this car Vs dads' Vasek Polak Porsche 917/10..He didn't get the Turbo Motor until riverside...Then Vasek fired him to hire Jody Scheckter...I can't remember the race ,but my stepmom has a picture..I think it's Mid ohio,where Denny takes off in the air and my Dad drives under him..

This is Road America-Elkhart Lake..Got some German relatives there from my moms' side..The rels had the homemade beer goin' on..lolMy Grandpa was from there..Wisconsin...My Dad hit a deer in the Greenwood Corvette there..Totaled them both..I was 8 in 1971..dads' best budy Jerry Titus got killed where there used to be a bridge after the Canada Corner.He had false teeth..Swallowed them...They told him not to race with them..But he said F them-lol...Hit the Bridge so hard in a Pontiac..Steering column killed him instantly..One of my Dads' favorite guys...Was Racing with him as a co driver...He cried like a baby..That's racin'..For real..

The different pictures posted by Milt Jr of the cars his dad raced got my intrigued as to who this Milt Minter was. Except mistake on my behalf, he's indeed not that well known over here in Europe.

So I launched google and pretty quickly found this. It's a very nice read for anyone into old school racing. A story illustrative of how racing used to be back in the days. And the story of a great man who lived for his passion. Enjoyed every letter of it.
