Brock Yates is a prolific author, a radio and TV commentator, a race car commentator, and has raced. (Cannonball Express with Burt Reynold was partly his work, I think.)

He has been a good and warm friend over the years.

He made an interesting point in an article in the WSJournal not long ago:

2) That many auto deaths are acts of suicide ! ! !

Withal, auto deaths per driving mile mile are down substantially.
