Bill,
I'm not longer on the list, but you can forward this to it if you want. Sorry
to hear about your driveline troubles.
Dick's TR4 had a good showing. Rain throughout the weekend and a large 52 car
field made for tough driving conditions.
Saturday afternoon Qualifying race.
Started 8th oa and picked up 3 spots right away. A 3.0L Alfa 3000CM started on
pole and motored off. 2nd through 7th consisted of Denny Wilson's Super 7 ,
Vic Skirmants' Porsche 356, Mike Besic's Alfa Duetto, Dick Stockton's Triumph
TR4, Bob Leitzinger's Datsun 510, Ceasar Cone's Alfa Duetto, in that order.
2nd through 7th stayed together for the first 4 laps and ran away from the
rest of the field. They ran as a group until they hit traffic, and then spread
out while they worked through lapped cars. The TR4 and Datsun ran nose to
tail, swapping positions while they lapped 19 cars. A lapped car balked the
TR4 at the exit of T9 which allowed the 510 to make a run in T10. The
checkered came out one turn later. Finished 6th of 52 and turned a 2.21.0.

Sunday was rain, and their race was at 5pm. With a 6hour ride home, no one
felt like sticking around and most of our competitors packed it up and went
home.
Bob
