This was an extremely fast car when Brian Fuersternau was driving it for 
Group 44.  It was always simultaneously demoralizing and thrilling to see Bob 
Tullius' big rig (before semi haulers became so commonplace)  pull into the 
paddock and unload his white and green TR6, GT6 and MGB, with their 
immaculate level of preparation.  It was instructional for many of us 
(including the realization that money usually beats earnest desire).
