    Thank you for sharing the details.
    I've shared with the Spec Racer (Ford) community.
    He was critical to its impetus at Jeep/Renault.
    Should find some additional funding there.

    Cheers - Jim
    When I used to fly Phantoms, I was called an AVIATOR.
    Now I race cars. So, am I now called a PAVIATOR?

    Vic was my driving instructor, along with Jim Pace and Brent Borland, long course, BIR.

    Rained early the first day while we were in class. Vic took the wives for half dozen laps:
    • in a van
    • at speed
    • DEEP breaking
    • full throttle
    • driving one-handed
    • smoking
    • right hand grasping the top of the right seat
    • turning to talk to the ladies in the aft compartment


    I am in, but I just noticed an anonymous $15k donation. Ever watched the documentary Speed Merchants? Mario, do you think?

    I saw a donation listed by Mario.

    If the $15K donation was considered a “payback,” I’d guess Porsche.

    Yep, saw Mario’s name. And he was a Porsche man from the get-go. Highly recommend Speed Merchants.

    Yep. Love it... especially the Targa Florio part!

    Michael’s book has been on my list forever. Never quite bought it.

    Thanks.
