| Ray's
speedster had been in storage since the 1950's. After seven months of work,
it was ready to run in the 1990 Great American Race. Ray has run it in
many hillclimbs and touring events since then.
These pictures were taken in 1998 at the F.A.S.T. hillclimb that was part of the MAFCA National Convention in Reno, Nevada. |

| Ray is in the center with the purple shirt on. His speedster is equiped with a "fat man" steering wheel. The wheel hinges upward to make it easier to get in and out of the car. A locking mechanism holds it in place when driving the car. |
