Barry;
I enjoyed the GT2 race, but not the results. Your first spinout in the
carousel, caused the most damage to your finish. Curious was it because
of the chassis or drivers error? The second time you left the track, it
looked like it was before the carousel. That doesn't seem like a
dangerous place. What happened?
Since I have been out of the picture for a while, I didn't realize that
SCCA had given the Tiger a restrictor plate requirement. I guess Toyota
and Nissan must have put a lot of pressure on SCCA. Money can buy a lot
of influence. Not any Sunbeams on the market now. Do you and Tom get any
type of factory assistance or any other assistance? Tom had the race
under control for the first half of the race. What a great start. Even
before the rear axle broke, he didn't seem to be as competitive. Did his
tires go away? I have had the honor of giving him many checkered flags
at Indy. I was assistant chief starter at the runoffs in Atlanta for
about 8 years. I so much wanted to give him a checkered flag then. If
you get a chance say hi for me and tell him that I am still rooting for him.
Hope you guys have a good season again next year. I will try hard to be
at the National in Indy.
Good Luck
Larry Blackman
