Bob,
Thanks for the introduction to Duck. I raced in the PCA races at Road
America last Labor Day weekend, and really enjoyed the track and town. I
was fortunate to drive my friend's Porsche 944 Turbo race car in the Sprint
races, while he drove his new Cayman GT4 Clubsport factory race car. I
drove the Clubsport in the morning session on Labor Day, and we co-drove
the 944T in one of the Enduro's to 4th in Class.
So, I decided to run my Bobsy-Porsche there in the Hawk Vintage races next
July. We are on the wait list for a room at the Osthoff, as there are NO
hotels available within 15 miles of the track. Now, to figure out how to
get my trailer and car from San Diego to RA, and back to Monterey for the
Reunion in August.

This is an offer from the legendary Duck Waddle. For those of you who
don't know, Duck has raced Bobsy Sports Racers for more years than anyone
really knows. However in 2010, after 60 years of racing, he decided to
give up regular racing. He sold his last Bobsy to Trevor Seckel, now racing
it the UK. In fact, it turns out, Duck owned my SR-3 twice in its
history! As I said, he has a *long history* of racing Bobsy cars.
Some of Duck's other racing credentials are that during the summer he
raced all over the place, but in the winters he was a regular instructor at
in Arizona. Not a bad life, Since 2010, and not doing regular races
anymore, he now takes up permanent summer residence at Road America,
actually staying on the grounds in his RV. Sort of a resident guru, if
you will. Here's a neat YouTube video of him in his Bobsy, at Road
America.

Anyway, Duck is making a great offer to any Bobsy owner who might be
racing at Road America. For racers, he's got a DVD and his personal notes
and tips for negotiating the track. Even if just at Road America as a
spectator, or if racing you have some spectating crew, also feel free to
look him up and he'll give you the chef's tour of RA. Here's his offer:
"AT ABSOLUTELY NO COST TO YOU. YES, FREE. I just might be able to help
you have more enjoyment and have quicker lap times at Road America. I am
Duck Waddle and I have been teaching Race Car Driving at Road America
every summer since 1987. Also twenty plus years with the Skip Barber
Racing School and with the track for the last 9 years. Yes, I raced
Bobsys for a bunch of years. In the summer I live on the property at
Road America. As you come down the steps of the registration building,
look straight ahead and you will see the rear of my tan motorhome parked
next to the safety building garage.
"Or call me anytime on my cell phone, 440 725 3183 <(440)%20725-3183>. I
look forward to hearing from you and perhaps giving you some speed secrets
or tips on Road America.
"Duck Waddle"
Cheers,
Bob Alder
