[Trans-Am Jim]

Hank:

I think yer referring to Brian Simo. He showed up at the first Trans-Am race in April at Long Beach in a Jaguar out of Joe Huffaker's shop looking for sponsorship. None was forthcoming, so they loaded it up after the first practice session. They are planning a full-fledged effort in TA in 2003. Huffaker builds the motors for Boris Said and a few other TA teams.

John:

My buddy "Sweet Lou" has become disenchanted with the current Trans-Am series Administration (it has to do with who ya gots to buy the bodies from) after running 4 races this season and has gone Grand-Am AGT racing. Won the class his first time out at Daytona last month.

A little bit of trivia - Lou was one of the "bog people" at the Watkins Glen F1 races in the late 60s - early 70s.

Didja watch the TA race from 3 Rivers, Quebec?? Quite the demolition derby.
P.S. Linda LaBarberra sez hi!
