John:
Definitely worth posting. A heck of a driver, and a heck of a car. I spent
some time crawling over and under the car on Saturday. There were a lot of
things to learn from it. The ex-factory rally quad 45DCOE weber setup was
pretty amazing.
I guess Jerry cut his teeth in the UK B, C, V8 race series so knew the car
very well, which was evident from his drive in the rain on Saturday.
