I stopped by the Sant Rosa Hilton on the way to work and checked out the
caravan before they left on their final leg of the trip to Eureka. I
counted approximately 12 driven cars plus a few more on trailers. Norm was
driving the one LeMans coupe that was present. I saw David D. with the
ralley car, Bill V. with his Harrington Tiger and others. I got to talk
briefly with Ian Hall and saw Rosmary Smith. There were lots of folks
there who i knew by name only and it was kind of neat to be able to put
some faces to those names.
In typical British car fasion two of the caravan participants (the Lemans
coupe and the ralley car) were being worked upon so they could continue the
trip. The Lemans car had a problem with the starting motor system and in
the end had to be push started. Rosemary Smith helped push start the coupe
and I wondered how many times she had done that in her long association
with Sunbeam competition vehicles.
