Thanks for the pix Mal. And who says you can't be competitive at Lime Rock and finish 3rd in a field of about 40 with bias ply tires?

Some might notice the parking lights are on, it wasn't to warn the competition of my astounding speed; cars of this era didn't have full generator control, just voltage and a cutout. So to keep the generator from overcharging the battery (thus boiling off the electrolyte and potentially warping the plates) on longer continuous drives you've got to sop up the excess output by using the radio or keeping the lights on.
