Hello fellow LBCers

[ellarse]

Hi folks, I'm Larry. I bought my first britcar in 1978 during my senior year of high school. It was a 1969 Austin America. A couple years later I learned that while I was struggling to keep that car running, I was walking past the house of Mike Kearney who was racing the Fortech Mini at the time. Since then I owned a 68 sprite Mk IV, which I rebodied at a '64 Mk II. I raced a 68 Cortina GT in Improved Touring C in the late '80s/early 90s, and a '69 MGBGT which I still own. When it was last running, with the supercharger it would keep up with the Spec Miatas on the straights. I also briefly owned a G Production Spitfire, though I only raced it a couple of times.

Some of you may also recognize me from the old team.net british cars list, aka SOL.
