Marcos Maniacs

Good Morning Christian!

Thank you for the links.  I miss the Nuerburgring Nordschleife (the old 
North Course race track) and look forward to racing there again someday.  My 
FIA International C competition license expired last year but I am so busy 
in my work that I could not race much anyway.  I do hope to get back out on 
the race track sometime next year.

Yes, Billy Dulles is William Dulles.  And he lives in The Phoenix, Arizona 
area.  So he is only 3 hours driving time north from my house now.

I would VERY MUCH like to see your photos of Billy's Mini Marcos race car 
(270 DGJ).  It did not race at Monza or Spa-Francorchamps.  But it did race 
at Mugello, the Chamrousse Bergrennen, and the Nuerburgring 500 km Rennen in 
1966.  Do you have any color photos?

Billy is happily retired now.  I hope to visit him at his house in 
Scottsdale / Phoenix early next year.

Best Regards and Happy Holidays!
Andy
