I'll never forget what he would say when he would call, "C. Edward Weisinger the second here". Did he do this with any of you guys also?

How about sharing some of your "Carl" stories with everyone to remember him by. There must be a million of them. I'll start:

1991 Gators: Pulled in and parked in the pits and my son, Shane, who was 7 years old at the time, looked over and saw Carl's rig parked on the next row. He shouted "Hey!, there's Carl!" and jumped out of the truck and raced over to Carl's trailer where he and Carl spent most of the the day visiting and talking about life, dogs and racing. When I went over to get Shane so we could go to the hotel he said "but I wanna stay with Carl!" Carl looked at him and said "Shane, I'm your buddy but he's your dad. Go!" On the way to the hotel Shane looked over at me and said "Carl's a really nice man isn't he." I nodded at him with a smile and said "Yes he is, yes he is". Jim
