Gary, I told you about the time I put shoe-polish on the inside of a fellow drivers helmit. We used to wet the Leather seat of the other drivers bike,so that when he jumped on His ASS was soaked. Putting donuts in the pockets of colors.   Glue on the whip where you grabbed it.   Cutting the other guys whip and putting it back together so that when you took it out of the locker it fell apart

And the best one I ever saw was at Sportsman's Park. I know I've told the story many times, but here it is again. I lost all of my paycheck one Friday after I got paid. Saturday night I went to the paddock to see my old buddy Doug Hamilton for a $40 loan.

He was sitting out on the porch in the paddock with Darryl Busse. I asked Doug to lend me $40 and he went to the driver's room to get it our of his locker. I stood there and talked to Busse for a few when I saw Doug coming back with my $40. He made a motion to be quiet, then lit a small firecracker, came up from behind Busse, and set it under Busse's foot.

When that thing exploded, I thought Darryl had a heart attack. The look on his face was priceless, and Dougie said "Heres your $40 Schmidt." Both of us we in tears!

One other time I saw Gerry Bookmyer walk up behind Buster Ross and pinch his ass real hard with a pair of pliers. Buster wasn't the only one crying that night, but he was the only one crying in pain!

My older brother would always steal any hat or cap I layed down when I put my colors on. Then I'd see him later wearing it with a grin on his face. He always threw his driving gloves down on a tack trunck and I'd snag them. His stable was 85 miles from me at the state fairgrounds. I was there to race and he asked me to train a rat bastard for him and see if I had any suggestions. I grabbed his ratty pair of gloves and took the colt a trip and kept his gloves. He went to the tack shop and bought a brand new pair, so I went back to his barn later and swapped his ratty ones for the brand new ones.

It was a month before he said, "That was a good one." ...I think he was wearing my cap.

One time at Marion, IL we broke the track record 3 times in one afternoon, so a Hoofbeats photographer wanted wanted to get a pic of the 3 drivers. We lined up with Roy Finn & me on the outside, and the tall guy in the middle. Roy looked at me with a grin and smooched... I knew exactly what he meant. When the photo guy said smile, Roy and I kissed Mr Brown on the cheek... he was horrified. Roy & I were on the ground laughing.

Needless to say the photo never made it into the article.
