Thanks Rick, I'd say where there are racers that have met John Thorp, or run his cars, then that's a correct place. I had the pleasure of doing both. John has always marched to the beat of a different drum, something we don't see much of these days. GOOD LUCK! John

I want to let everyone know that I just received word from Denis that his father the Great John J. Thorp has had a bad fall, and as a result has had many complications and his health is rapidly deteriorating. He is at Pomona Valley Hospital. I will post any news as I receive it. Please add John to your thoughts and prayers, he is a true pioneer.
For all that do not know John was one of the pioneers of our hobby.
