Les,
Nice to hear from you! Please say "Hi" to Dave. We met him on our Pelee
Island trip we staged a couple of years ago. Heard via this list that he
was racing the trike at Pittsburgh this year. Saw his trike race at the
Christie Sprints outside Hamilton, in 1995. Sadly, Christie is no more.
Nice weekend event & 3 trikes raced that year!
Rattlesnake Point is a neat spot! We drive up it quite often & it has
been a part (downbound) of our British Car Toy Run event for charity. We
drove past it, rather than down, this last Sept 28, as we had about 140
cars in convoy with police escort! The Rolls do have a problem with
those turns! Alas, hill climbs are relagated to the past around here,
these days!
Great weather of late here. We're doing a cruise tomorrow & maybe will
assault Rattlesnake one more time! Hope things are sunny in BC & that
you find some info on the DH! You might try J. Dale Barry's (of the Plus
4 Club) North American Morgan Register database. He might have some
records on the serial #? Call: (310) 649-2796, or try their club's
webpage.
Good Hunting!
-Fred
