I will be in padock space number D-20 Friday and Sunday, competing in class
B4 Sunday afternoon around 2:15. I will also be at the track Saturday
morning until around 1:30. Please come by and visit. Stewart Smith is
next to us with his Lotus 7 series 1 with mighty 100e 1277cc power. One of
the only original series 1s left as many have been converted to Coventry
Climax power. On our other side is a great Morgan trike.
