Bill:
Real small world. I was in Chassis Engineering, KarKraft and Advanced Engineering in styling. I also sarted a company known as AVC Engineering which became Protofab, so I was into the TransAm series. We did Rousch's first T/A cars. One driver was Willy T. Joe Ruttman drove many of our cars. Also built one of John Greenwoods killer Corvettes.
356 Porsches, eh? Probably did cross paths with your father when running the McLaren. A good friend, Garrett Van Camp, won the SCCA runoffs many times in his 356. You may know him. Also helped Bob Riley with his FV, FF and SuperVees.
Never did do the Woodward scene, but a friend did. Bill Coones in his grubby green '64 Comet with a 289 upped to 350 cubes terrorized the Vettes back in the late '60s. As for me, I confined most of my personal racing activity to the desert Southwest and the Bonneville Salt Flats.
