Remember without the time and efforts of your club officials, there would be no racing so take the time to say Thank You.

I believe I know this car well. If so it is the last DB3-89 in original FC trim.

Sorry to see you retire, you were always great to run with and taught me a lot.... And thank you (and the other officials) for your dedication to the sport.

I'm worried what will happen in a few years when the younger generation isn't interested in corner working or other support positions..

See you at the PNW Historics!

WOW! I am now the very proud owner of both the last Swift DB-1, and the last Swift DB-3 ever produced...cars previously owned and meticulously maintained by John Grooms and Tom Balzarini. I will be racing them alternately at different events, but will have both in a garage at COTA for the SVRA Vintage Nationals. Stop by and have a look if you are there!

Thanks to Tom and John for keeping these two benchmark cars in such beautiful condition. I am committed to maintaining and enhancing them while in my care.

Best,

Glenn
