    Sad day today, found out we lost another Legend this week. Steve "Yogi" Behr AKA P.C. Amerika passed away yesterday. Most people won't know the him, but if you've ever heard of or seen Cannonball Run you can thank Yogi. He won the real life Cannonball Run a couple times. If you ever read Brock Yates Cannonball Run book you will read about him, and even see a pic or two of them winning it. I consider myself very fortunate to have met him years ago and cherish the times we would sit around the shop and talk cars. He told us many real stories from the Cannonball, but not only that, he had so much racing knowledge and history that will never be repeated.

    I encourage anyone that knows classic stories to get them and write them down, otherwise the world will loose them.
