Spyder 550 550A

Ok, here's my contribution to the Spyder thread. My friend Jack saved this newspaper article for me, pretty funny when you look at it. Don't scroll down to the 2nd pic until you've studied the first pic for a little bit.

Three pictures for identification by our champions Steve and Andrew
The first one I assume to have been taken somewhere in the US
Not a race as the car display no numbers and the pilot except the one in the 55O A in the middle wear no helmets

Two years ago today - you going to try do this one again Steve..?

[Steve Heinrichs]

Wow!!!

That's correct---two years ago. It was wonderful although we did not raise as much money for lung cancer research as we had hoped.

Interestingly, I met with my doc today (he was at the event) and heard about much progress on the stem cell research side.

Nope---no more events in the future. The book is futher delayed as the designer designs. Happily, the writing is done although we still are make race changes and updates, thanks in no small part, to information from you and others here. All of that has been greatly appreciated.

Thanks Steve - it was one hell of an event to pull off and the line up was amazing. It is down as one of my best life experiences, that weekend in Monterey in 2011! The book will be worth the wait... If I had only known earlier about the book, I would have offered to design it as I own a graphic design company - it would be the ultimate job to do!
