Sorry, I was there and I still don't get all choked up about "racing
history". I recall an Alfa builder in one of the hard-nosed groups
doing his best to get me to swear that his car was one I drove in the
dark ages (it wasn't and we both knew it) so it would have some
"history".
Brings to mind the famous line about the Mk. 8F- of the eleven built,
23 still exist!
