I had wondered what happened to the guy. I worked for/with him in the early 90's, back when we had a lot more people here and 4 of us were Porsche freaks. He used to be active in PCA-Santa Barbara autocross back when they ran on the tarmac at Pt. Magu, and raced in SCCA before that.
Now the dude is racing sprint cars on dirt out in Ventura... http://www.scrafan.com/vraseniors/main.html No wonder I never see him at p-car events anymore. He just bought a 600HP, 1000lb car that spends its life going sideways. |

His name is Bill Leonard (senior series; he's prolly in his 60's by now). I dunno anything about the cars or the racing, but the events he drives are fairly close to my house (Seaside Park in Ventura, same venue as the German Autofest I think), so I will check it out sometime this summer.
He has already rolled the car at least once, and broken a rib. There is apparently quite a bit of contact as the cars are sliding all over the damn place, and the tracks are extremely small. One thing I could -definitely- get used to compared to the road racing stuff...their events start at 4 PM :flower: |
