James Fox and the rally car

James Fox and The Rally Car

At one point, James (Class A) finagled his way onto the course with Class B (yours truly). The green bullet grew so swiftly in my rear view that I simply pulled over and pointed him by.

James gave up much of his Thursday track time to trailer my SPG to Indianapolis for an emergency head gasket repair.
Thanks James!

Gary Moore SPG

Gary Moore's modified SPG

The popular trick of the day was to pull the LF headlight and turn signal to aid engine cooling. Would that I had paid attention...

Thanks to Gary for handing me Steve Bush's business card (Road Tested SAABs). He and Fox and Steve saved the trip!

Two talented and fast drivers in two very different SAABs.
