Marcos cars in California

Hi Maniacs, I have posted two new photos of Mark Petrinovich's Marcos and mine at the Volvo meet in Davis California on Sunday. Don Lattimer showed up later in his V6 Marcos so we had a total of 3 Marcos cars at the event which was pretty neat. Don has been doing so work on his engine compartment and it really shines and looks great. On Monday I participated at a "track" day with the same Volvo group.The track day had 65 cars made up of mostly Volvo's. In the mix was perhaps 12 Volvo race cars of various kinds and a lot of Volvos including vintage 1800's and brand new turbo's. We also had 3 Audi TT's and a new Porsche Carrera. The weather was overcast and we got some sprinkles but it never really rained very hard. I was third fastest overall behind the Porsche (by 2 seconds a lap)and one other car and fastest in my group. My Marcos went well and could have gone faster. I put in a Quafie limited slip on the previous Saturday and it also worked well. I was seeing 6200 rpms on the short straight in 4th (3.77 rear end). In my group I got to do a lot of passing which was fun. I would often catch and then pass as many as 4 cars at a time on the short straight. Fun!!! Mike Denman Chassis #4079
