Hey thank you Rod for the kind words...not anything someone would do for a friend...and Dave & Mary are some of the nicest peeps anyone could call friends...anyone who knows them knows that.

Anyhow's...awesome day today,Dave got re-acquainted with the car in short order with a strong 20 minute session that not only bedded the brake pads but produced 7k bursts...and came back clean and dry...really not much more one could ask for after a 5 year absence.

Tired right now but please follow along here for the complete start-to-finish story along with the latest updates:

Rodney/John thanks for sharing and all your efforts. Tell Dave my 11 y.o. watched the vid with me and now wants a Lola instead of a Viper or GT40 :D :thumbsup:

[buickfunnycar.com]

Hey great pics Rod...MAN...look at the polish on those wheels!!! :G-Dub:

Great to meet you today,so sorry I couldn't spend more time with anyone but after a successful day tomorrow,we'll be sipping champagne come Sunday. :thumbsup:

[Rod P]

after a successful day tomorrow,we'll be sipping champagne come Sunday. :thumbsup:

I am going to try to get back out there tomorrow and support you guys again! But I have to get to the farmers market in San Francisco at about 5am and then I will head back down to Laguna Seca, and try to make the morning practice and afternoon race, I hope the shirts came in today, since they weren't at the house this morning

[MarkM66]

Did you see the event being filmed for TV?

I'm guessing with the demise of SPEED, it won't make it to TV.

The lines on these cars -- and that motor midship - and the stacks... It's so "my era".


I'm going to have to cozy up to Mary and David MUCH more so he'll let me see it just once!

Congratulations David! What an accomplishment! That had to be an incredible feeling! :Tomcat: I caught the very end of it, but searched and found a replay for tonight! Yes!
From the little I saw it looked really cool. I bet it's fantastic in person! Definitely added being there in person to the bucket list!

[CarlC]

It must have been early in the show, and I too missed it!

But it was great in person. You won't regret it Karl. One can spend days just walking the pits and not get bored.

[67Sally]

I just saw that on TV and was going to dig up this thread to verify what I thought I was looking at. The car looked GREAT!

[James OLC]

One of the nice things about Canada is we still have SPEED so this is playing all week. :D David's Lola is on around 23 minutes in - cool seeing it com TV! but nothing compares to seeing it in person. Great job and an awesome piece of history!!

Not bad for a yank eh? :D

How the f do you guys still have Speed?

[badmatt]

Because... Were the cool kids.

[glassman]

thought you guys only got hockey channels lol

My race had most of it yellow flagged due to a silver McLaren spinning. It took the rest of the race to tow him away so we didn't get much coverage. But they did a feature on the driver of the red car ahead of me. & I think used footage of our morning race. He is 81 years old, raced in the first Pebble Beach race in 1953, 60 years later this was his last race! He drove great.
