"Boogity, boogity, boogity – let’s go racing, boys!"
"If you don't cheat, you look like an idiot. If you cheat and don't get caught, you look like a hero. If you cheat and get caught, you look like a dope. Put me where I belong."
"Banging fenders on a short track at Wilkesboro, god, we've got expensive cars and it costs a lot of money to do that today. But it's kind of like a pay back [to the fans]. And we got to always be thinking about what we're giving back [to fans] and not what we're taking all of the time. I don't want to see us get into a situation where it's take take take from the fans, from the sponsors, from everybody. One day we'll wake up and they won't be there anymore and our old friends [sponsors] will be gone too. So we got to maintain that fan base and we've got to maintain that grass roots level of racing that we all love to make the sport continue to grow and flourish."
Young though he was, his radiant energy produced such an impression of absolute reliability that Hedgewar made him the first sarkaryavah, or general secretary, of the RSS.
- Gopal Mukund Huddar
Largely because of the influence of communists in London, Huddar's conversion into an enthusiastic supporter of the fight against fascism was quick and smooth. The ease with which he crossed from one worldview to another betrays the fact that he had not properly understood the world he had grown in.
Huddar would have been 101 now had he been alive. But then centenaries are not celebrated only to register how old so and so would have been and when. They are usually celebrated to explore how much poorer our lives are without them. Maharashtrian public life is poorer without him. It is poorer for not having made the effort to recall an extraordinary life.
I regret I was not there to listen to Balaji Huddar's speech [...] No matter how many times you listen to him, his speeches are so delightful that you feel like listening to them again and again.
By the time he came out of Franco's prison, Huddar had relinquished many of his old ideas. He displayed a worldview completely different from that of the RSS, even though he continued to remain deferential to Hedgewar and maintained a personal relationship with him.
