DRC Article on John Livingston...

When Bob Frey was making his rounds at Silver Dollar this past weekend he apparently did some work on this, along with talking with lots of Sportsman racers. Good article...

If you guys can ever get Herb McCandless and John Livingston in the same room telling stories for 1965 to 1970 I can promise you 1/2 of you will wet your pants. They raced back in that time and had more fun than any of us will ever have.

Next time you see John ask him about the time he needed to pee real bad and decided to stop on a one lane bridge to do it.

Sorry Uncle John had to do it.
