Group,Bill,Russ,Charley
Let me say this Group 44 is legendary just like Kas Kastner, I remember the
Drivers like Tullius,Brian Bill Adams and Lanky there were a Race Team with
Me ga Sponsorship.
In 2008 at the Glen we hat Dinner one Night with Lanky I won't forget I
believe Bill you were there, Bill Warner,Tim Lanocha,Tim's Friend (forget the
name) and Woody Cooper ( I don't remember there were about 12 in the
Restaurant sorry if I left you name out.
Four weeks ago Chris raced the TR 8 at RA as a Guest driver and did a
outstanding drive, not much seat time due to Oil$ leak and LSD failure.
He respected the car and drove it like he Did not owed it. With respect.
I trusted chris from my first E-mail and Telephone conversation 6 weeks ago
and I will let chris Drive the 8 any time.
Thank you Chris.

Isn't that one of the cars Bill Warner has? He raced it in the 'Watkins
Glen' Kastner Cup race. They were in the garage adjacent to ours and Lanky
Foushee (RIP) was wrenching for him. That car was still fast. Shortly
there
after there was an extensive article about the car in one of the motorsports
publications, dealing specifically with exactly how and why the car went so
fast.
It was not, as they say, your Dad's TR8.
