Salt Lake City 1962..." |
"...replaced by a much quicker Elva
Mk VI." |

Bar- neson, Dickey, ??, myself, two more, and Walt
Davis." |
"Laguna Seca, Spring 1960, Turn 6:
Myself, Ted Conrad, Atkinson, Gary Beitel, ???." |

| "... and then came the day at Laguna
Seca, Fall 1962 when Merle Brennan's
D Jag-Chevy couldn't keep its rear sheetmetal from threatening to de- capitate
yerstruly and I couldn't quite stay ahead of him for a full lap, and John
Timanus (#323) was stuck watching the whole show. Baaaaad
day!"
"My feeling at the time was that Merle
should have been black-flagged because the car was a hazard to navigation,
and indeed I was waving madly at the starter (can't remember if it was
Dick or Don Seike) and making a throat-cutting motion across my neck while
pointing at the flapping bodywork, but with no effect. So I thought
it was a bad call on the part of the officials, at least. " |

| "More from Laguna Seca, Fall 1960, Turn
8: Myself and... I wish I could think of his name.
He was a photographer who'd bought
Bob
Herda's car from the previous year." |
