This month's issue has their review of the GRM $2008 Challenge and there is not one but TWO pictures of my (old) Alltrac! Pages 46 and 72 IIRC.
Yes we placed 47 out of 52 competitors but our victory was that we didn't DNF after the Alltrac threw a rod bearing. One important point that they got wrong in the short description (I didn't expect my life story - we were 47th after all) was that it was my team-mate Tom Cooper who busted his hump to keep our Alltrac in the fight, I was handing him wrenches and helping as best as I could while he did all the heavy lifting.
I want to thank not only Tom Cooper and Paul Kruger (who some here might remember) but also Steve Huges who came out and helped me on the car. Steve - shoot me your mailing address, I have a copy of GRM here for you!
I've since sold the Alltrac and it has gone on to a better place - ice racing in Minden to be exact. I'm still sticking with turbo 4 cylinder vehicles as I've picked up a '87 Merkur XR4Ti to play with with dreams of the $2009 Challenge.
