There are several father and son teams in Grand Prix Midget racing so its not unusual for a father to go off in search of a head gasket for his son’s race car on a Sunday morning, but not many would then come back with a carrier bag of 20 or 30 ice creams for their son’s fellow racers and their families. There’s no gasket, John having scoured the area but having been unable to find one so David calmly eats his ice cream and then refits the old one. This good natured approach to racing is typical and is what singles out John Smith and his son David from the rest.
