Speaking of Sam, he received a nice mention in the Runoffs coverage in the
Oct. 5 issue of Autoweek. Two pages of coverage with the following
paragraph about Sam:
"The race was won by Sam Halkias in his ancient Triumph TR6, he finessed his
way through the field from a 10th place starting sport. Halkias, who had
competed in 21 previous Runoffs, had missed only one - a couple of years
ago, after a stroke - and had never won the race. He had been coming since
1972 as a spectator - his father died at the Runoffs, he said - and he began
crying during the post race driver interviews. 'Tears of joy', I assure you
he said, 'This means so much'".
The article finished after the above with "That's the SCCA at its best, and
it was pretty darn good for the Runoffs".
Congratulations Sam.
