Paul,

I drove a Kent RX-7 in IMSA GTU at Daytona 24 hr (came 2nd), and a Spice
Mazda (3-rotor I think) in IMSA Prototype Lights for Busby/Goodrich.

What happened to John Cannon?  I haven't heard anything.

Sending one pic of the American...I have others but not scanned.

Robin...thanks for the good thoughts Girl, I appreciated your visit to
Long Beach.  I'm just Keep'n on keep'n on.

Ron

John had an O-200 engine quit in his Varize. He got it down in the desert and
it skidded along for while then it flipped. No roll bar. Killed him.

Thanks for the pic Ron.
