I wonder if one of the others was Mike Belfer (or Tom Belfer, or Mike 
Cataldo, who often CO-drove Belfer's TR3).

In the early 1980s, I used to flat tow Ole Blue.  I had a very short, 
custom made tow bar set up, and it did not track very well at all.  At the time 
I 
was using an Oldsmobile Fierenza (sp?) as the tow vehicle.  Don't know if 
you remember them, but they were a pretty lightweight compact car.  Well, I 
was towing coming back to Brookfield from Blackhawk on I-43.  I tried to exit 
at Hwy. 164 and the TR3 pushed me past the exit.  On that day I decided 
that MASS was an important issue when selecting a tow vehicle.
