Sebring Dick
Irish Email
from Dick
Irish
to
etceterini.com:
The Siata "adventure" was really fun. We ran two
12 hour races in a week and I don't think we ever saw 100 mph.
As I mentioned, we had head gasket problems at Vero Beach.
Tony Pompeo even brought us yet another head gasket in his
suitcase for Sebring, but to say it arrived "rumpled"
would be an understatement. We therefore borrowed a page
from our midget experience and made a headgasket from annealed
aluminum sheet. Tony also brought the shop manual which
basically said one should torque the head, let it set over night
to let the studs stretch, the re-torque it again, before
running. The Siata Gran Sport would out handle most of the
competitors though and I was able to run a whole stint with the
ex-Bill Spear 2 liter 166 Barchetta driven by Dick Cicurel and
Bob O'Brian. I'd pass them going into the first turn, lead
them through the hairpin and down warehouse straight, the
Ferrari would pass me on the airport runway straights, I'd catch
them on the last turns and follow them past the pits, to repeat
the pass. After the driver switch, I went down to their
pits to tell them that I didn't mind following a Ferrari, but I
hated following one with mufflers! It REALLY pissed them
off! At our last pit stop, we lost time when the engine
wouldn't fire for some reason. When it did fire, we'd
dropped to third place behind an XK-120 Jag. We ended up
45 seconds behind it while gaining 19 seconds a lap. The
kicker was the next morning the car threw the rod on the way
back into town and we had to fit a tow bar and tow the car back
to Cleveland. We had driven it down to break it in, as I
had also driven it from New York to Cleveland. The dealer
I worked for, who owned the car, hadn't a clue and repainted the
car a different color before putting it on the showroom floor
with the trophies! Siata
