The great John "The Jet" Cukras and
former Team Riggen star Bryan
Warmack......met for the first time since 1970 at
the 2000 Proxy run at the Marconi Museum in Tustin, CA. Bryan
entered a modified FLY porsche 917 which finished 2nd in the E-Class
"B" Main. John was our star driver and acquitted himself quite well
of this tough assignment.
Mark Gussin' "Hussein I" proved once
and for all to naysayers that vacuum-formed bodies can make Concours
winners. It all depends on whom does the
job.Don't forget to click on the "What's new"
feature on the left side of this home page to read results, comments
