I know they didn't win all that much but I'll give a nod to Ted Ralli(MGA) & Denny Gernnett(sp)/Keith Weidner, the previous owners of my MGA. I really have to tear the attic apart - Keith gave me all the old programs, including when the car was road raced. I remember Fred - is he still around? Sue

Sue,

As far as I know Fred Livezey is still kicking. He was at one time was Philly's RE and newletter editor. I last saw him about 5 years ago to clean out his remaining Fvee parts(mostly unusable), the Alpine was sold to a vintage racer down south. The photo that Ron has must be an earlier car that Fred had because the one that I saw had a latter tail like Merlin's Tiger.
Fred and Keith Weidner used to be teamates, road racing fvees together. I believe that Dean Curtis has Fred's D-13 and Jack Reifensnyder has Keith's Lynx B.

Ron,

Nice shot of Jeff Michael, I especially love the blue 83 Audi 4000 in the background! It is free to anyone that can drag it out of the my driveway.
Charlie Beidler incorporated the PHA with the Commonwealth of PA in 1963 in Doylestown, PA as the then, current PHA president, he was also a former Reisentoter and National Porsche club president. He was the best man at my parents wedding and one of the reasons that my Dad switched to a Porsche. As far as the Coupe, it is restored and owned by Chip Ott.
