Andy.....
 
You were talking about the marcos that William Dulles has in Scottdale Az  
 
and I would very much like to connect him in Phx/Scottsdale because that is where
 
I live. Would it be possible to get his e-mail address or phone number ?
 
                                                                         Thanks, Lance

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
