Mark, I think the race you are referring to was 1981. I was competing in E
Production, so I got to watch the DP race. Denny had chased Doc Bundy
(Porsche 924) pretty much the whole race in a pouring rain. in the waning
laps, he was really letting it hang out, but miraculously, keeping the car
on the track. Looked like he might catch him on the last lap, but spun
going up the hill in turn 1. I think I heard later that the engine had
siezed. It was a remarkable drive, expecially when you consider the level
of preparation of Denny's car, compared to his competition.

Denny Wilson? And his father, I think it was, who did a lot of the work on
the cars. Wasn't he the one who was whuppin' the "certainly it isn't a
factory prepared and sponsored" Porsche 924 one year when his gearbox
jammed
or something on the last or next to last lap? Vague recollections of
hearing
about the runoffs in 197?
