The TR3A wasn't light blue with eyeball-like headlights was it? That
would be Bill Dettinger of the Beadyeye Racing Team; usually shows up w/
bagpipes and replaces his steering wheel w/ bicycle handlebars when
parked and his helmet is copied of Nigel Mansell's. What a character!
Glad you enjoyed! Dave >>
Ya, I've seen Bill and his car, I thinkd he also has a flourescent orange
slow moving vehicle triangle on the rear of his car, he's part of what makes
this hobby so interesting, the cars and the people behind the cars. A couple
of years ago (I think it was Bill) he had what looked like a size 80 DDD
womans brazeer(sp) hanging over his car for some reason. But this wasn't his
car. This TR3A was Powder Blue and stock, we talked to the gentleman after
the event, he showed us his car and it was completely stock. He may have had
overdrive though, I can't remember.
