Mike...
WOW! His Obit says he started out as a teacher. But his ambitious racing
stable, including a Birdcage, suggests that Tech company he and two partners
started later on must have been successful. How sad, just like my racing
partner, Bob Wismer, he lost a battle with cancer early in life. And the Obit
suggests there does not appear to be any ties to Paula Jones' attorney, Joseph
Cammarata.
Incidentally, talking about Birdcage Masarati(s)...when Bob Wismer and I bought
the Tornado Thunderbolt, the guy who sold it to us also had had a historically
significant Birdcage Masarati that had set some sort of straightaway speed
record at LeMan. He apparently was not aware of the impact such racing history
has on a car's value, and he allowed the guy who bought if from him to get a
really, really good deal. This made him gun shy and difficult for Bob Wismer
and I to deal with. But it all worked out in the end.

When I lived in Georgia, Mike and Claire lived 3 miles away so we would meet
randomly around town. He was a real down to earth guy that would do anything
for you. Sadly he passed away around 2009 from cancer. He owned a software
company but I don't remember the name of it.
Besides the GT6 he also raced an ex-factory Datsun 240Z and a Birdcage Mazarati.

Amici...
Yesterday I was reading the Sunday newspaper, which takes a while. My youngest
daughter Kathryn, who is currently staying with us, was watch an episode of the
SCANDALOUS series now running on cable television. It apparently is a six or
seven part series on the President Bill Clinton scandal's from the 1990s. It
did not really catch my interest, as I had enough of it when it was actually
happening. But a portion of the Paula Jones trial caught my ear because one of
her original team lawyers was a guy by the name of Joseph Cammarta. I remember
that name well, because at the time there was a Triumph GT-6 racer by the name
of Cammarta racing vintage. I do not believe it is Joe or Joseph. I think I
remember Tony or Anthony. But this attorney looks exactly like that racer.
Brothers?
Does anyone else recall an East coast GT-6 racer by the name of Cammarata?
