<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" color="navy" face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy;">In my research for the Spitfire Database,
I learned that before those works Spits were shipped to the
US , they did
not have commission numbers. Because of some arcane rules that required that
the cars must have actual production commission numbers, the cars had commission
plates pulled from the then current production. But the cars were built much
earlier than their commission numbers reflect.</span></font></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;">Mike Cook had a nice article about the 1965
Spitfires being at Sebring. However, I think there was one innocent
oversight in the reporting.</span></font></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;">While the factory may have prepared the Spitfires,
it was Kas who ran the team. Kas secured the drivers and was the Team
Manager at Sebring.</span></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;">If I am wrong about this, I can stand corrected by
Mike and/or Kas.</span></font></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;">I thought it was worthwhile mentioning. I did kind
of a mental double take when I read the article. BTW, Mike reports
that he will be joining us at Summit Point. We are looking forward to
seeing him there.</span></font></p>
