My recollection is that Barry was never in the lead. I know Scotti was then broke & in the second hour Geoff Briggs passed Billy. I took over again...

Hi John are they fuel resistant? Was thinking of 350 degree flywheel timing decals?

See..... I told you so!!!

My wife worked for TWA and was gone a couple of days a week. Barry would call me when she was gone. I explained my family's relations ship with the...
