Speedster at Donnybrooke

Dave Weisel getting ready to race his Speedster at an SCCA event at Donnybrooke in 1971.
You are forgetting at least two other Nord Stern drivers Charlie Lloyd and Toby G(polish name, I can not remember the spelling. Toby only ran regionals with his 912, but I remember more than once being at his place to help build his engines. Charlie ran a speedster, sold it and later ran a 912. He ended its career putting the 912 off at turn 2 tearing both front corners off by trees. He qualified for the runoffs with the Speedster If I remember correctly.
I know dad helped build a couple of his engines.
Dad went to work at West Side and helped get the club access to the upper showroom to have a concourse in early May, first time they had an indoor concourse event.
The first winter working at Westside, the Porsche business was a little slow, West Side was sponsoring an up and coming driver by the name of Jerry Hansen. Needless to say the parts bins were wide open and dad built a pair of FV engines, by matching parts from the parts bins. No machining was allowed to balance and blue print the engine.
