We raced a 1200 in the dirt at Fremont and San Jose Speedway for 2 years.
Every Thursday night for 22 weeks in a row. $10 entry fee and over the 2
years I averaged $12.50 in prize money. Second in the A Sedan championship
one year. Averaged 1 rollover per year.
Great motor and trans. I wish the race group was still around. Fridays at
work were tough after getting home at 1 AM.

sigh... now you tell me after we sold ours! The A12 was a spunky engine,
but it struggled pulling 4 of us and luggage up the Sierra mountains, tough
to pass the logging trucks. Our friends would comment "want us to get out
and push?".
The other day while cleaning some drawers I found our toy hot-wheels
version of our fastback 1200, whoo-hoo! So we have something to remind us
of the car.
