    • Quotes
      [on writing The Last Chase (1981)]: I started thinking about the energy crisis and how it could really change the kind of life we know. Auto racing would be one of the first things to go. The energy crisis could stop this wonderful sport I'm involved in. A world without racing, horrible.
