[Hans E. Hansen (FList]

Lashdeep:

If you see a rather tattered black Z06 carrying number 113 at just
about any racetrack in the southeast, it's my son.  Gerry.  Stop by
and say hello.

He got his SCCA Pro license a while back, but runs Chin, NASA, as well
as SCCA.  And just about any other sanctioning body or car club.  If
someone sets up cones in a parking lot, he'll likely be there.

Hans.
