October, 1973. my MGB in a hard left turn at an autocross on the University of Minnesota's Lot 33. (First Place, Class D) The MGB, even with anti-sway bars, much preferred broad sweeping turns. On a tight course, the Saab Sonnets would eat me alive.

On the way to a Class E win, 1974(?) 
(The Met Council of Sports Car Clubs revised their classifications, putting the MGB in Class E instead of the previous year's Class D)

I had to abandon the MG in a filling station's lot when the bolt holding on the oil filter let go while I was leading out the checkpoint crews for the UMSCC "Frog Hunt" rally (197x).

I've worn a beard since 1976. This is before that. That beanie was an antique even at the tme of the photo (1975.)

My navigator Beulah Borknorfle. I was trying to prove that I didn't need one. We can't remember the rally, and I don't remember how well "we" did...
