Yes, it's one of the Poopers, I think there's three, I know there's two--the
silver one you saw and a red one built by Pete Lovely and currently owned by
Denny Akers. I race with both of them, a fine and spirited competition with
guys I trust.  Cameron was at the Glen last year in part to make sure the
original owner/builder got to see it. His name is on the tip of my tongue but
I can't recall it.

Cameron is about as nice a guy as you're likely to meet and a hell of a good
driver. Besides being competitors we live about 500 yards from each other in
Portland, and one island away from each other in Hawaii. Yet somehow the only
place we generally get together is the track.
