Speed channel covered the Monterey Historics last night. There was a very
brief shot of Peyote in the herd of sports racers under 2.5 liters (near the
end of the program) and a lot of views of it when they did a close up of
Phil Bink's Dolphin. You can see Peyote's butt (not the most flattering
angle) and 222 in most of the coverage. Phil pitted next to me. They also
listed Phil and the Dolphin in the top five finishers. Hey, that should have
been Peyote! I led him all the way through the race but he pipped me at the
finish line when I got stuck behind a lapped car that managed to get in the
wrong gear. 

Oh well, maybe next year. 

I also note that they didn't show the crunched GTO or the Ferrari Cliente
car with the nose knocked off. I've heard trackside rumors that the shot was
staged (with the owners feet sticking out). Yeah, there's a lot of
billionaire industrialists who immediately think "Hey, I just knocked the
nose off my $3 Million Ferrari Formula One car, let's make me look like a
complete fool with a funny picture of my legs sticking out." Duh.
