Despite his failings I still like John. He drives like he skis: Full out all
the time. His DQ in '89 was due to having incorrect secondary carburetor
jets...
And the Reitmeiers just missed getting DQed in CS too for having an
aftermarket front spoiler. The protest committee ruled it provided no
competitive advantage.

All I remember was that you were the emcee (big surprise!), there were a
heck of a lot of reference to sheep, and you gave Davey Looman enough
kidding to last a lifetime. And oh yeah, I sat next to Barbara McKee and
whined that it was unfair the 944 was being moved to CS while the 924S was
slated to stay in DS because they were effectively the same car. She got up,
ran across the room, spoke to someone I didn't know, sat back down and
smiled at me. The next issue of SportsCart had an addendum that the 924S was
being moved to CS too...
