Way to go bud!

Charlie called me up about an hour before the race and said he
thought the 2,4,6 all had the same running style (he hated the #9 positionally who busted up his triple). He was an early student of "The Hat" along with me and really focuses on positioning and tandem finishes.

** True Story**
"The Hat" really liked Charlie a LOT. Told me he was a true friend and also the kind of man who was there for someone when they needed him most. Charlie was retired from CBS in New York and had all kinds of connections there including a big TV producer etc. After getting to know "The Hat" he went to these people and approached them about making a movie or documentary about his life. There was serious interest in doing so (the true stories that Jim told me over 2 years with him would fill a book for sure!!) but then he got very sick and couldn't move forward with it.**

Nice score Charlie. Jim would be proud
