Jim,
It would be great if your friend would restore Marlboro too!.. :-) I
was over there last weekend and the road course, oval and grandstands
still look complete, although grown up by trees and weeds. I once saw
Jackie Stewart, Sir John Whitmore, and another guy at the 12 hours
there, when Lotus Cortina's were new... also great history of fast
alfa's, Baracuda's and SAABS.. Also saw Charlie Kolb win a six-hour
there.. sigh..
