I wrote the Classic and Sportscar article on Tulius. Lots of fun. We talked
for about 4 hours non-stop.

What a beast of a car.
Sometime in the last year, Sportscar & Classic, I believe, had an
article about Bob Tulius and the history of the Group 44 team. His sneaking
out with his wifes TR to Marlboro (what a tie-in!) for drivers school, the
story behind the "1964" Trans-Am car, the teams prank rivalry with PLN, and
up to the professional years in Trans-Am, IMSA, and NASCAR. Nowadays,
according to the article, Tulius and Furstenau are retired in the southeast,
and restoring WWII fighter planes. [insert cheesy spitfire joke here] >>
