Sorry Don, he was actually just about to be lapped by the Porsche, which
took over the lead after the Morgan blew a shift headed out onto Nascar
turn 1. Too bad the white '64 Spit didn't do better either, placing
dead last, well, except for the Daimler that blew up! It *was* a great
event though. (We were the idiots standing on the roof of our Jeep
cheering the Spitfire....)
