A few months ago I was …
I couldn’t help but notice the Schooler Cams at the top of the scrapbook cover. I used Frank when I lived in JAX for my Austin Healey cam regrinds and engine balancing. Very nice and knowledgeable guy!
Yes, too bad he retired. We used Schooler cams in our TR3
I’m on a “remember Road America” page on Facebook and I published a picture from Porsche Park from the early 1980’s and the green shorts/yellow shirt dude mentioned that he was the guy walking down the center. Kinda cool to help document history a bit.
My niece sent me a connection to many pictures oe Watkins Glen in the "BOG" days. That was thbe only time I ever got tear gassed, and I was being good as I had just started my teaching career.

Very cool story. While nothing close to the TR3 and its exploits, I've kept photo books of the autocrosses and kart races over the years...in hindsight, I wish I had done a better job labeling the photos with dates, locations and results. It's still fun flipping thru, but more detail would have made it more that what it currently is...
Nothing like the old photo scrap books... I have shots from the Glen that I recently sent to the IMRRC so they don't get tossed after I'm gone. 
I will also attempt to attach a couple of images from Hobo Hill in Belvale (Warwick) NY from the very early 70's...
Tracking history is an interesting thing. Almost since the day he passed, I've been trying to find out about the racing history of my mentor, Chuck. I know he was heavily involved with SCCA. Supposedly he worked on the Triumph factory team for one or more of the 24 hour race series
Did racing in Hawaii while he was stationed there (Ctrl + F for "Chuck Sparks")

That's about the extent though. Plenty of hits on decades old websites recommending tips and tricks that he would use to get old Jags to work properly again.
Ah, what simpler days.
