Final Results

The overall standings changed quite a bit at Waterford. The #5 Raptor, 3^rd after Atlanta, posted two good runs (relative to the other top 10) and slipped into 1^st place. The #10 Lamborghini, 1^st after Atlanta, moved back into 2^nd place. The #17 BMW, based on a "better than competition" run in the first Waterford run moved from 6^th to 3^rd. The #2 Mallet Corvette, 4^th after Atlanta, did not complete the second Waterford run and fell back to 9^th.

And our guys, our team, the Superformance family of fine folks with fast cars, came in a stunning 1^st in class and 4^th overall. An incredible victory for two first time out guys in a first time out car!

Back to Ann Arbor for awards, then back home. Dennis and Doug split up in Cincinnati, Doug heading south for New Orleans with the truck and trailer and Dennis heading southeast for Salisbury in the Mk III.

Now that’s my idea of the ideal high performance car. Fast and beautiful. Drivable and reliable. Win at the track and drive it home.

Dear Bob & Dennis:

It looks like you put together a winning combination! I saw the newsletter from Second Strike. Your car looks great. Dennis, it sounds like you did a super job of driving. Congratulations on winning in class.

It appears as if you're selling a lot of Mk III's. I hear from people every now and then that have purchased an Olthoff Superformance Mk III and they seem to be quite happy so that's great! I'm glad you two are enjoying them.

I wish you all the best.

Sincerely,

Bob Bondurant

Message: Just heard the news of the excellent result in the Lap of America for Dennis and Doug Reed in the Superformance 396 cu ins. Really well done. Excellent!

I know how hard these events are having recently competed in the Tour Auto (Tour of France). I managed only 20th and sixth in class.

Best regards

Nigel
