Tony in the Group 44 Lotus Cortina at Sebring in 1966

It happened all at once.  I was hired on as a driver, mechanic, and driver of the big transporter as well.  I was to drive the Lotus Cortina in B sedan, where I was already noted with the Volvo PV 544's regional championship.


We competed in various Trans-Am events and didn't win a championship, however we were second in SCCA National runoffs in B sedan.


The Lotus Cortina had a huge following in those days.  I was excited to follow in the footsteps of such greats as Clark and Stewart who drove similar cars.
