Going through memorabilia from the "old days" and came across my first embarrassing situation. In 1975 the academy was still at Headquarters. While in the academy, coming back from EVOC at Capital Raceway, it was my task to park the van. My first time driving one. No windows on sides, mirrors only. While trying to judge parking, I scraped a 1970 T-Bird loud enough that people in the back offices of Headquarters could hear since they had their windows propped open. Imagine my worst fears of being fired when I found out the car was owned by "Digger" Davis. Lucky for me everyone took it well and I got a preventable notice in my file.
