Harold thinks highly of Will for several reasons. One of
which, is the fact that he had very few sponsors and
staked his territory pretty much on his
own. He said very little, but when he spoke, Harold
listened - because what he did say always proved to be
the right answer. Harold even attended one of Will's
race school classes, where he learned some pretty basic,
but helpful tips - such as not turning or touching
more than 3 items on the car at one time. Move it, test it, use it or lose it!
He also learned that a car
doesn't have to be polished to get the job done.
In 1974, the Elephant car was
found for sale in Weedsport, New York.
George Eli was driving the car for a fellow, who passed away and his wife
wanted to sell the car. Harold jumped at the chance to purchase the car.
The car was appropriately dubbed the Elephant car as there was flexible
pipe from the rear brake area up to the side windows. This ingenious device
helped to cool the brakes.
Harold's thoughts on Buzzie are that he is a great person, who is very pleasant
to talk to. You can walk right up to him to talk at anytime. If he was asked
a race related question, he would always give a straight up answer. Harold enjoyed
watching him race - he was a tough competitor and was always 'cool' at the wheel.
Great taste in paint schemes too!
