Well, it **was** Sunday.
At the risk of boring you with my “baby pictures”, I thought this might be interesting.
Lake Underwood(Jr.) showed up at the Sunday Autocross with a storied, incredibly valuable race car to show around. Not only that, he tossed me the keys and nearly made me take it out — in anger -- around the course. Pinch me.
Lake drove this car to several SCCA national titles, and co-drove with such nobodies as Briggs Cunningham and Stirling Moss. And I guided that same wheel.
I took three laps, and posed for some pictures.
Car was incredible. For a 60 year old, 70 (?) HP car, it was terrific. Controllable, accurate, forgiving of slides ( yes, I slid it around, you have to). Lake had a huge smile on his face, from the right seat.
See pictures (attached) and Wikipedia link on Lake and the car. Note where it was race-engineered (Drew people, remember that place?)
