Mark Matthews won in his '65 D Production Sprite, followed by his son Mark
Jr. ('59 D Prod Bugeye), Efrain Olivares ('62 F Prod Sprite), Gerald Allen
('67 D Prod Sprite) and Jim Sechrest ('59 Sprite E Sports Racer).
The top finishing Mini was Bruce Logan ('67 D Prod Cooper S), in 6th.
FWIW, I finished 22nd in my '59 Speedwell Sprite, one lap down to the two
Matthews' rockets.
It was a great weekend all-in-all. I didn't get to pay as attention much
attention to the car show as I did last year, because this time I didn't
break my racecar on Saturday. That's three events in a row without a failure!
