I accomplished one of my tasks Saturday at Rennsport.
Old "
10 MPH" helmet had gone out of spec...
(Vic Elford = +5 MPH. Brian Redman = +5 MPH.)
Time for a current spec upgrade!
(
Derek Bell must be +10 MPH just by himself!)
Vern Schuppan, Hans Stuck, Jackie Oliver, Chip Robinson, Norbert Singer, James Weaver, and Bob Garretson. I think I have a major increase in speed here!

Funny moment...
Going down the line I am only having the drivers that I enjoyed back when I was racing sign the helmet. For the others I am having them sign the flag. Vern Schuppan finishes signing the helmet and next to him is Alwin Springer who reaches over to grab the helmet to sign it. I pull it out of his hands and ask him, "Alwin! What did you race?" He cracks up a bit and comes back with, "356s!?"
I managed to miss Vic Elford and Brian Redman so hopefully I'll catch them at an event in the next few years.
