Thanks, Jack. Hope to see you at Summit.=20
The Ferrari TRC (2.0L Testarossa) was owned by George Siomko. He bought it =
for dirt cheap off a fellow named Genetti - I think it ran Sebring in '56 o=
r '57. Ray Heppenstall and I went to Connecticut to pick it up for George a=
nd it sat in the loft of my shop. George would practice the car and Ray and=
I would split the racing duties. We didn't do anything to the car other th=
an wash it and ran it 4-6x a year. It was pretty fast for what it was, not =
the fastest car, but it was an old race car by then. When I was moving to m=
y new shop in '65, George wanted to sell me the car for $600, but I didn't =
have any money for it at the time. He sold it to a fellow named Hap Smallba=
ck and he did hillclimbs with it.=20
Here is a picture of it at Marlboro: https://scontent-lga.xx.fbcdn.net/hpho=

Bob Tullius and I entered the Glen 500 in '65 in my car and we took the vic=
tory in the class and 7th overall. I have the trophy somewhere.=20
The Cobra was an original '260 car (CSX2009) with worm gear steering. It wa=
s upgraded to a 289 car by the time I got it from Gene Fisher. I did pretty=
well with it and did a lot of development work on it. We found 30bhp by re=
designing the exhaust and replacing the side pipes. I had Air Flow Research=
(AFR) do the heads and worked with Harvey Crane on a camshaft. It made abo=
ut 350bhp. The carburetor and intake were the real restriction. You could m=
easure the bump steer in inches and had to drive it sideways. I was '69 and=
'70 NE BP Champion, set lap records, and finished 2nd at the ARRC in 1970 =
to Allen Barker's newer '69 Corvette. At the 1969 ARRC at Daytona, I blew m=
y main motor in practice and we used a Holman Moody motor which was down on=
power. Started from the back and finished 7th. The car was wrecked at Watk=
ins Glen after I sold it in 1970, but was subsequently restored to FIA spec=
and auctioned a few years ago.=20
