Not questions, but a couple of little known facts.

Smokey was awarded the AARP Pioneer Award which bears his name last week. Smokey passed away last year.

**Smokey's trademark hat (or one of them anyway) is on display at the Smithsonian Institute.

**Smokey's final resting place is most unusual. He was cremated and his friends have sprinkled his ashes at every Victory Lane on the circuit.
 
Worked for the MAN in the air engine days of the late 80's and early 90's.

Best damn garage in town AND the best damn guy I ever turned a wrench for.
