Hi David,
That is also a beautiful Sprite! Driving something that nice would slow
me down! I'll be on a vintage fact finding mission at the Glen in
September. I have several racing options available, but I need to make a
decision and get started. I would love to see some pictures of your
Midgets. I'll have questions about the 72 GCR configuration as I didn't
get involved until 1974, and it's tough to get answers on how things
were done back in the day.
