'Got to see a bunch of biggies at the 1969 Bridgehampton CanAm. Q'ing
1-2 in the morn', so confident were they that they skipped the Saturday
afternoon qually and went water skiing. They did maintain the front row.
Bruce and Denny's M8Bs finished the usual 1-2 result.

The M8A was my body of choice while 1/24 scratchbuilt slotcar racing in '69.
'Painted a couple in Gold Leaf Team Lotus colours (decaled on the nose as "McLotus" ala
Dan's 1968 "McLeagle" M6.) for a friend and myself. Added homemade balsa wood wings
(covered in Reynolds aluminum foil :)) to turn them into Bs. The wings, of course, did not
last long on either of our cars the first night we used them :fool:......'looked neat at first tho'.
(Yeah, we were both Lotus fans ;))
