Rich and Liz,
Shucks.. thanks for the mention, but the "rest of the story" is that one
hour before the Monoposto feature, I found a broken front wheel on my car.
I was offered a good wheel from the Mayer Racing FF team (at no charge) and
with a quick mount job from SascoSports, was able to make the feature..
What comes around, goes around.. I agree.. Vintage folks are the best..
Vaughn
