That Camaro (which is the REAL deal Penske car) was driven by Pat Ryan, who,
when not driving the Camaro drives a lightning fast black Spitfire. His son,
Sean is also a very accomplished Spitfire jockey and also drove it until he
stepped up into a silver Camaro. That black Spitfire is one of the few cars
I have ever seen capable of running down Kent Bain in his white and green
Spitfire from Vintage Racing Services in Connecticut. 

Sounds like all involved are on the mend from local news reports.

Hi all, sounds like you all had a great time at RA. Glad to hear it.

I ran at Watkins Glen last weekend and also had a great time; knocked 4
seconds off my lap times. Must be those new carbs.

Triumphs were in short supply, Allen Goode did well but had a couple
problems with broken rocker arm studs, which he fixed. Brian Schirano had
his yelllow TR6 there and had fun.

The Friday re-enactment was attended by 20,000 or so fans on a gorgeous day;
we all had a ball.

It rained Sat night and was damp Sunday AM, but cleared up nicely.

There were the Historic Trams Am folks there, all of the cars were
incredible. I watched a lot of them race in the late '60's and early '70's!
Where did thos 40 or so years go?

One of the Penske/Donohue,Sunoco Camaros hit the guardrails very hard and
was heavily damaged. There was a photographer behind the guardrail in the
area and was thrown for a loop and was airlifted out. Luckily he had a
broken arm and several ribs and not much else. Whew!

 

Film at 11! (If I could get my video camera hooked up to my computer) Damned
new fangled stuff. Next thing you know, they'll make phones that will take
video! (Old Luddite!)

 

It was a great weekend.

Bill
