Hi Don,
I will be at RA for most of the event. My good friends Pat and Kiel Hogan will
be bringing Mark Donahue's Penske / Sunoco T-70 plus a Dekon Monza.
I will look you up on Thursday or Friday. Both Pat and Kiel have a lot of seat
time at RA.
Looking forward to finally meeting you!
Regards,
Paul

We are on the way to Road America, Elkhart Lake Wisconsin for the Hawk
vintage races on July 21 to 23, with my Bobsy-Porsche SR3.
I look forward to meeting Duck Waddle, and hopefully getting some driving
tips from him. Although I have raced there before, I have not driven my
Bobsy-Porsche there.
If any other Bobsy owners, or Bobsy Talk subscribers are attending, please
look me up.
I'm also doing the Friday night drive into downtown Elkhart Lake for the race
car show, so look for us there.
Best Regards,
Don Anderson

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.

Bobsy_Talk Readers:
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. I look forward to
hearing from you and perhaps giving you some speed secrets or tips on Road
America.
"Duck Waddle"
Cheers,
Bob Alder
