    Bob Rinde in the Alfa pipped at the Ziel'ing Line by Jack Scoville in
    the Porsche at Portland in 59-60 while an honest to gawd flagman does
    what they used to do (I say that despite that my favorite flagman of all
    time used to hold the checkered rather statically in the hand not
    holding the beer) :)

    Lee Fjellanger Scott Rinde posted, that "Bob Rinde in the Alfa pipped
    --- at Portland in 59-60 ---." I first raced at Portland in 1969. Was

    describe it, or send me to a site with maps/drawings? TIA

    :43 seconds is the FV I later bought, also includes views of H Mods.)

    places thru the years. The track was ruined about 10 years ago and the
    only joy left is throwing it thru the Circus (which I prefer to call
