So I have heard the story of the Griswold spider....but it is nice to see my pal Howard's Sprint pictured, too. Do you own this car now, or is it still in San Diego? I think I drove it once, at Willow Springs, abut 10 years ago, but I don't recall....

So, Peter, when are you bringing your Spider and your Wakmann to an AROSC time trial or race?

My last race weekend was at Willow Springs in October, where I was driving an Alfa SSZ tube frame car w/ a GTV6 motor. I was wearing my Autavia GMT, which was originally awarded to Tony Adamowicz for settting the fastest race lap in the 9 Hours of Kyalami in 1971 driving David Piper's Porsche 917.

Yes, there are car guys on this site.....
