 Indianapolis Raceway Park a week ago Tuesday will air on AutoWeek on
 Speedvision two weeks from today at 7:00 PM & 11:00 PM ET.  It is based
 on my wide-chassis Eleven, #275 -- ex-works Sebring 1957 -- and should
 have some fleeting shots of Gary Bartlett's D-Type in the background.

It's interesting that Dr. Brett Johnson is one of most recognized and 
dedicated 356 Porsche restoration historians and author....and yet...has had 
the "flexibility" to become a multi-marque devotee of motorsports.  His 
restoration of the ex-Sebring Lotus XI is extraordinary...in as much as he 
did most of the detail work him$elf.   

Brett's owning and racing a British car ( with oil leaks, electrical 
failures, blown head gaskets, broken spokes, lost bolts, etc...) among that 
tightly-knit 356 Porsche (Por-sha) purist group is somewhat of a 
shocker...but kudos to him and all the others!!

Looking forward to watching the Speedvision segment.
