[Fot] [FOT] Watkins Glen Race Report Part 2

[Bill Babcock]

Yes, that's Jim Froula. Very good driver and a fine mechanic/ 
fabricator. I think he also carried Cameron Healy's Pooper out to the  
Glen. The guy who built the body (Tippe Lippe I think) was looking  
forward to seeing the car again--he lives somewhere near Watkins Glen.  
I guess he's in pretty ill health so it was a typical Cameron thing  
for him to haul it back there--he's one of the good ones.
