[Fot] Novice at SOVREN Spring Sprints

[Paul Ricco]

Bill,

I hope that you are doing great.  We do have some photo evidence of the fun that you guys had.  Nothing illicit, just pictures of the aftermath of the evening gatherings.  I am talking about piles of empty wine bottles that the track most likely needed a front end loader to move.  They came with the TR4 when we bought and we save them as part of the cars great history.

It is great to hear that you have such good memories of the time at the track!

Paul
