[Fot] Racing memories

[michael]

Ah yes, the paperweight on my desk - a Spitfire 1300 rod with a nicely curved
bend in the middle and a scrape where it knocked a hole in the block. It
happened in an instant at the top of the hill at Lime Rock...in practice for
pete's sake! I didn't save the broken crank. You see, Kas told me to change
the crank after six races and that Lime Rock event was number seven..........

At least we saved the head!
