We were lucky enough to see him perform live during one of his final tours in 2009. There was an issue with the sound system, so none of the amplified instruments could be heard until it was repaired. While that was happening, that almost 80-year-old legend blew his unamplified horn long and hard, entertaining the almost 3000 attendees for about 10 minutes, with his powerful sound filling the hall all the way back to the upper balcony!

I was watching the race at Watkins Glen when he radioed near the end of the race that he wanted to get medical attention afterwards.

In his last post race interview when he won the truck race he was asked why he still races so hard after all these years he said that you never know when it will be your last race.

End of an era.
