Hi Eve, heres one of the grass motorkana, and i was in the early group before it all turned to bulldust. This was my first year there with a completed car, '97, had an absolute blast.



Next is Dennis Bedfords (first?) GT40 heading off for his runway blast.



I recall maybe John Cini's partner running out of room at the rwy end after a late braking episode. I certainly do recall myself going over the crest, through the traps at 198k with a line of Cobra's crossing the braking zone returning to the start. The start line and most of the rwy was not visible to the end controller, and all instructions were done by radio. Obviously a missinterpreted message was recieved at the rwy end, and sent the cars back early. No incident luckily but a little worrying.

Bernie, I have a shot of Mikes car, but not on the rwy and also the local constabulary not just on the side of the rwy. I'll post them up tomorrow.
