I remember years ago one of the guys that would show up in his stock 72 911T. It was back when I was the autocross chairman. He would come help and work corners and ride as an instructor for beginners. Even back then we did the 8 runs total. He would never run in the first 4 runs. He would wait for the guy gunning for FTD in whatever modified high HP car was running. He would wait until the third to last run of the day and then get in line if the competition was worthy.
He would take one reconnaissance lap that was usually real close to the FTD. Then he would take a full run and almost always win FTD. He would not even bother with his last run unless he had not beat the competition. It was back when we had trophies and he always accepted it, than handed it back. He did not want another trophy.
He was one of the smartest men I ever met. He sold everything here, and moved to some remote location in California to buy a gold mine. A literal gold mine. I always wondered how he did in the gold business.
