A man's man!
A ruff and tuff competitor during the race, but after the races, if your truck didn't start, "Snake" would be the first one there with his tool box and jumper cables.
And as I have posted before, one hell of a good pool player in the Washington Park track kitchen. Fifty plus years ago.
