Hi, Guys. Sorry to stir things up so much, But???????????   We were paddocked about in the middle of the area. Small car kinda hard to pick out. Sorry I missed Don Haines. It was really a blast to see all the people from the past. Many memories of good times. The problem that we had was: I made the mistake of not starting the engine way in advance of the call to the grid. I dressed and was ready to head out and when I fired the engine the oil lite refused to go out. The accusump would put it out but only temporarily. Not good. So the only thing I could do was shut it down. I think the oil pressure releif valve may have stuck open and ........  No harm to the engine I am sure but no way to run it then. I'll get it apart and checked out on wed. Sorry to have not given you guys a show but if nothing else we got an early start home. I hope we can all stay in touch via E mail and get together another time. We plan to be back to VIR next year and maybe have better luck. Good luck to all and Cheers, Ed.

He was supposed to drive Truman MeGhee's Turner.  I've seen photos of it but never the car.  His shop is near Ed's but I've never been over there.

I'll have to call Ed to get the scoop on this.

Don, no idea what happened.  I only saw Ed at the cookout on Friday evening.  He said he was supposed to drive something but I don't recall what.

Don:

Ed was off the middle lane through the pits about half way up.  We talked to 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.

Does anyone know what happened?

Steve,
   I must have walked 5 miles looking for Ed Diehl.  I asked everyone and was 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. 

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!

 

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.

Had a great time at the VIR 50th reunion last weekend. Ed Diehl was
there, Jim Franklin was driving the same Courier that he drove at
Marlboro and Jim Netterstrom won another race with his potent Super
Seven. Jim had his lovely Allard J2X on display at the Gallery. I was
just spectating although technicaly crewing on a Morgan. Cezar Cone,
who raced a Sumbeam Alpine at Marlboro was still on track in an Alfa
Duetto. It's great to see old friends. :) Dick Thompson and Carol
Shelby were there too and I had a chance to say Hi to Dick.
