Hope to see the car at the Can Am reunion at Road America this summer.

The plan is for the Road America (BRIC) race to be the first one that we will attend other than a test day.

I was on the crew of a guy that went airborn at the top of the old straight at Mossport and was killed in a frissbee back in the '80's named Mike Allen. We had to pack up what was left of the car and head it back to L.A. I had met him at Las Vegas and he called me and asked me to releive his driver that was having to drive alone from L.A. to Canada straight through and was about to crash from lack of sleep. He picked me up in St Louis and I drove the rest of the way to Canada. Man, I loved the Can Am series. I was even a entrant in the Dallas GP 1984, but could not get the car ready in time. I am friends with Horst Kroll there in Canada. Do you know him? I have the sister car to his Lola T-400 of which there are only two left known to exist. (See Pic)
