SpeedVision World Challenge Touring car - Exciting Results

[Rave Racer]

    Wow, those are some nice pics.  You can see the colors on Derek Bell's
helmet.  I saw the race on NBC.  The poor Vette team fire at the bottom of
the cork screw was fabulous.

    I was wondering Mike, if you would be attending the Grand Am at Mosport
this up coming weekend.  I'll keep an eye on your site in case you do attend
and post pics.
     Last year I worked the pit crew for the Istook / Aines team.  This year
they have a full compliment, and I have run into a whole new set of troubles
so I won't be able to come out.

    On a sad note, I finally found out who it was that died two weekends ago
at Mosport.  My sources are varied and obscure, but so far I've been able to
put together that Julio Haig was a 44 year old Veteran of the GT series.  No
word yet on what car he drove.
