Was Wolfgang von Trips piloting that Ferrari 156? Is that comment in bad taste?
Nice lineup of cars...I hope Matt isn't too bummed out that his driver is coming home with a few scuff marks on the helmet.. (at least his Ferrari driver is still in the car)

As to Marks comments of. "Was Wolfgang von Trips piloting that Ferrari 156? Is that comment in bad taste?

Yes that was in bad taste and the helmet of Matt's car will buff out.
All in all guys you did a great job of pulling off a very successful proxy racing series with a nice tight grouping at the top and most everybody had their time to shine at least in Qualifying. It was on schedule as well as can be and it finished on time for Mike to get his car back in time to get freshened up to be his VRAA entry for the fifth time.

When the cars were here in Hawkes Bay NZ at John Macphersons track, this Ferrari was fast. I liked the low nose stance. It made me want to build a 156. There were many stand out cars though. I learned much from seeing and driving the fleet.
