A few years back we were running in the Wisconsin Sports Car Classic and our
base was a hotel in Racine, Wisconson. The group had spent the evening at
Great Lakes Drag Strip where we had a free run of the strip for the evening.
The return trip to the hotel took us through some farm country and
eventually through a rather seedy side of Racine. Along the route I heard a
loud bang as we were passing a farm where several men were standing in the
front yard. I assumed one of them was shooting a shot gun at something. As
we entered the seedy side of Racine the bang sounded again. It was coming
from Dick Ryan's car. The next time it happened Dick was alongside an
unmarked police car with two detectives in it. It was dark and this was a
pretty bad part of town. Marty Maier was driving behind Dick and the next
thing they knew the detectives were out of their car and ready to out gun
the perpetrators. When they discovered it was a car problem they stood guard
while Marty and Dick found the problem..... a loose wire on the ballast
resistor. They even provided the guys a police escort back to the hotel.
