hmmn, I wonder who was in the old plane I saw over Summit Point during my
driving school . . .
I too am interested, any ideas where I could get that issue of Sportscar
and Classic?
I do not recall seeing it at the newsstand.
The main thing I want to know more about is his early Trans Am history.
I am building a clone of the inaugural season 1966 TA Dodge Dart.
This project is coming together a lot more quickly than expected, as far as
gathering parts - now to just put it all together.
Another (sort of) tie in - I had tons of fun chasing a TR6 around Road
Atlanta in my friends Barracuda. The "highway speed" laps were made a bit
more exciting by the fact that the car was on repro polyglas tires.
