From the things he has told me, it was a rather crude operation compared to today's race teams. Sounds like a great project for you and your son.

Thanks for the tip. It would be fantastic to sit down with Ron Butler and get a real inside view if what it was like at the time. I suspect he could provide a wealth of info. If I have occasion to head to the left coast I may well contact you.
