Van Hoe- venburg- run, Hubert, my eldest son who was piloting the sled, would call "Let 'er go" to Curtis at tho brake. Paul, who sat behind me, kept calling: for more braking and the three couldn't seem to agree as to the speed that would suit my taste.

In Shady, tho right angle curve, I thought of tho problem that turn use to be for Curtis.
