Remember now, This is what Leigh said , not me. This is what I remembered from what he said. He said the family didn't want to have anything to do with the book. The Knievel family have some tapes Evel left them and they want to do a bio on him but he said it won't happen because they will be sued if they do.Not by him but by the people who own the rights .HBO was going to do something on Evel but the Knievel family made it difficult so they walked away because it got complicated.
Jay Sarso (the head of Caesars) went to check on Evel after the crash . He told his son that Evel was fine but they were going to report that he was hurt worse then he was to get publicity.
It's not going to make everyone happy. But, It's interesting to read. Leigh comes from the area of the country as Shelly Saltman did. Both of them came from Boston.
