Donny Sopp of Homer, NY has been racing his Spitfire (and picking up the
parts falling off it) for well over the past 24 years usually with me at
events at Watkins Glen; Mid-Ohio; Summit Point; Shannonville, CA; and
Mosport, CA. He is known for his innate ability to extract  magical extended
life and service from parts others might discard. Always ready with a sack
full of burned out points and a file, he has finally gone to a solid state
ignition much to the horror of some! There goes some of the entertainment
for the Jeff.

Somehow he has escaped the notoriety of being included in FOT. I would like
to remedy that and need a second to do so. 

Gentlemen??

He will be at the Jefferson and Mosport this year sans his comprehensive
collection of points in a sack.

Russ Moore

Spitfire #49

Russ...

Shannonville.  Wow!  There's a Blast from the Past.  

I ran Shannonville once, many, many years ago.  Maybe it has changed, but 
back then it was very blue collar, and the only track I can think of where 
you can pretty much see the entire circuit sitting in the grandstand.  

Two things stick in my mind.  One that this is the only circuit I ever ran 
where there were side by side straights which gave the illusion that traffic 
was coming back straight at you.  No one warned me.  The first time out, I 
got to the grid late and by the time I was headed down the first straight, 
traffic was already coming back at me.  I thought I had done something wrong, 
and only the laundry knows how excited I got.  

The second thing I remember is that I blew a head gasket in one of the 
practice sessions.  I was all alone, no crew, and I'm a lousy mechanic.  But 
local spectators helped me change the gasket, and I made the race.  I even got 
a class trophy.

Near by Kingston, is a great little resort town.  My wife Shirley loved it.

Sorry I don't have any Spitfire parts, but a big hello to Donny Sopp.
