Joe and I had a great time this weekend and he earned his wins. :applause: Only wish my pole position yesterday had held. As Crew Chief Maurice said, he sent a first place driver to the race with a fourth place car and she was able to finish second with it. Will be getting a lot of attention to the car over the winter hopefully and then next year Joe can watch my back end instead of his mirrors for the entire race. Thanks for racing me clean Joe.
 
He ran the runoffs in Riverside in 1966. That was 45 years ago.
My guess is you had to be at least 16 to race then so I would say
61?

Jerry is a good friend of mine and we came from the same town in Ohio. He first started racing in an Elva Currier and then a bug eye Sprite. After the 1964 RunOffs at Riverside he bought Joe Huffakers (Sr) winning 1098 Midget that Emett Brown drove. 1965 Was a great time and we went to 10 National races and when we beat Group 44 at Courtland Alabama we were on top of the world. Through the years he has driven many race cars and today owns and drives his Series 4 Lotus. Jerry is in his early 70's. I personally feel that when the Lotus 7's were moved to F, the Series 4 did not get the break that the Series 1,2 and 3 did.

In those days you had to be 21 years old to have a licence
 
If the Series 4 needs a break the results at the Glen Double National don't support it. Saturday Ruck 2:10.703 (new record),; Jerry 2:11.184: Ruck wins by 1.5 seconds- Sunday Ruck 2:12.047 (winner) Jerry 2:12.673
 
Congrats to Scott Lunder for winning his first National race Saturday in his FP Honda Civic Si. I talked with him the other day, and he said him and Jerry had some great battles both days.

You're gonna get some disagreements with you on that. Same legendary handling of the Series 1-3, but with a more aerodynamic body and a better engine, resulting in the most potent straight line ability I've ever seen out of a FP 7. Looked like a great car, and I won't lie, I kinda wanted to drive it.
