I just returned from a fabulous, albeit wet, weekend at Elkhart Lake. We
drove over in the TD - took about 7 hours. But what a surprise when we
got there! There were (by my count) 9 MMM cars there and RACING! Some
included Mac Reynolds and Frank Diaz, both in their own C-types, Bob
Sterling in the NA, Pete Thelander in the NE, Curtis Liposcak in a
borrowed J2 (supercharged), Dean Butler's K3 and KN special (K3
replica). I'm forgetting someone, so please pardon.
Other notables racing were Denver Cornett in his #7 TC, now 53 years on
from his first race in that very same car; Don Martine, and way too many
for this faded brain to remember.
Great weekend, but unfortunately, the Sunday was pretty much a wash out.
Many of the older cars simply packed up and went home. Two solid days of
really fun spectating, though.
