Wow! What a great issue of Kit Car Magazine---not only is there a great write up of the entire Carlisle event, but a separate feature about the Speedsters Meet Spyders event (plus our 6 MG friends and three metal Porsches),great shots of Darcie and Steve Clark, Hoss scarfing an egg sammich, Cory's son piloting the Hoopty, Bruce and Norma, Bruce and Norma Stumpp who was recognized as the "principal organizers" of the Carlisle event, David and Francine Stroud and getting the longest drive award with 5,030 miles from their meandering route, Cory inside his engine compartment recusitating his engine from racing Russ' 911 up I-81. Many other photos including the group photo and awarding the Challenge Award for the most registrations in the replica categoty. Also a mentiom of Danny P's new top (smart move!) There were dditional Speedster pictures in the Carlisle event section and a mention of our Chuck Martin winning a Carlisle Elite Award for his speedster. A mention that Alan Merkin has completed 24 replica Speedsters---they left out that Alan is the probably 4th largest Speedster replica "manufacturer" in the country!
Not only all that but the "Pub Speak" editorial in the front of the magazine features a wonderful editorial about the wet fun of the average rain-challenged Speedster by Carolyn Youngs, wife of the Editor Jim Youngs and a big Speedster / Spyder supporter. The whole article is about Speedsters.
---and a lot more.
