He used two MC fueling setups to get over the power limit imposed by 
using just one.  That's what forced the radiator into the trunk, no room 
left under the hood.  Too bad he ran into overheating problems on his 
runs...

Burlington Vermont - it was built and driven by a guy who runs an auto 
shop up there called The European Cure.

And, yup, those Climb to the Clouds events were great - all manner of 
vehicles represented from antiques to little old two seaters to American 
muscle to "special built" hillclimb cars.

To say nothing of the Audi sponsorship, which entitled "us" to fill the 
paddock with all manner of Audis, from slick to decrepit, stock to more 
and more customized.  I feel lucky that this particular event was 
basically in my backyard.

Too bad Audi stopped their sponsorship and the CttC people were unable 
(or unwilling?) to find another marque sponsor to keep the race going.
