Don:

I hadn't seen Eddie in about 40 years but prior knew him going back to when we
were Silver Spring Ram Rods in our teens. Only mentioned the RX7 because it's
the type of work he was doing even then.

It's great to see people and the quality of thework they do not changing over
decades.

the car got charred. Put him out of the race, but no major damage.

seeing him come by and then seing the rig going over the bridge a few minutes
later.

him on Sunday just before he was supposed to go out to race. We went up the
hill by the bridge and saw the class come by with no Eddie. About 15 minutes
after the start, we saw the car on the trailer heading over the bridge.

told that he was there but I sure couldn't find him. I also was looking for
Truman's Turner #2 but couldn't find that either. Were they still there on
Sunday? I was only able to make it on Sunday. But I got some great shots of
the cars. <br> <br> I also ran into an old competitor Phil Curran.(#99
StingRay) Haven't seen him since we ran the Daytona IMSA Camel GT event in
1975. Really enjoyed the reunion.

Don, Pete van der Vate, Lee Talbot, and a few other Marlboro folks were
there as well. I was able to get an extended private interview with Dick
Thompson thanks to Sue Roethel's assistance in setting that up. I was able to
show him a few of Dave Roethel's old 8mm Marlboro movies (now converted to DVD).
I also did a long interview with Ed Diehl. I wish I'd known you were
there!</div> <div> </div> <div>My regular camera was in the shop for
repairs, but I did have my wife's 3mp camera. I hope to be posting a few shots
from this reunion on the site here -- at least insofar as they relate to
Marlboro.
