His niece, Cathy, was there to accept. We had many emails over the last couple of years and it was nice to put a face with the name. Gary gave a very nice introduction. I will post the tribute film, in sections, on YouTube shortly. I will post a link here for folks that might be interested.

John Scott was a dear friend, and I wanted to speak for him at the HoF induction, but I have another obligation.

Is that some sort of front tensioner-jockey?

If we substitute “carbon” for each time he mentions “glass”-fiber he was right on the money! This would be around the time when FRP/GRP was being used for boat hulls, then sports cars, right?
