I think you might call me accident prone. I had the Miller 4WD car that Dean Butler has now, and I took it out to Pikes Peak. I was hoping to bring it back and run it in the very first Watkins Glen race, but the transfer box busted. I came back and the only car I had was this Type 35 Bugatti, which was the car I used everyday, so I decided to enter that in the first race….
