Emory brought a trailer full of cars to Nike one year; the patio in front of the Mia Hamm building was full of cool cars including this brace of Outlaw 356's.
Some of you might recognize the #55.

Oh yeah, Cameron's little "Pooper", a Porsche (four cylinder pushrod) powered Cooper. Gary and Rod supported that car in local vintage racing for many years, along with a pretty good smattering of 356's. Cameron still races it, I just saw him at the local Historics over 4th of July weekend.

I love it. Gary drove that darn thing all the way to the Bonneville Salt Flats one year for Speed Week. I can't remember if Rod joined him or if it was one of the grandkids. Plenty of tall tales followed, as you can well imagine.
