Just a reminder that Jim Walker finished second overall in a WRC event in his Volvo 142.

Many apologies Doug, it is easy for we Europeans to forget about the WRC events in North America.

Thanks for the video link. I just watched Part 1 and saw that Hourihan and I are shown at about 1:21 into the video.

Doug,

Is that Scott Harvey's Colt in the rally too or just a look-alike?

Doug,

Is that Scott Harvey's Colt in the rally too or just a look-alike?

Yes, Scott Harvey and Tom King in the Colt. We entered a Ralligator team in the three car team awards, Hourihan, Harvey and an honourary Ralligator, Shekhar Mehta.

Um, what's the story there?

Just as I posted. Hourihan made Shekhar an honourary member of the Ralligators and he joined Bob and Scott in a three car Ralligators team.

I met Shekhar at the Scottish rally. His 240Z and Bob's 510 were being serviced by the same mechanics there and at the 1000 Lakes.

Shekhar travelled extensively and in later years, from time to time, I would get calls from him when he was in NA.

Jim Walker & his Volvo (with college librarian Ginny Reese aboard when Joe LeBeau wasn't) were consistently a podium threat, back when there was but one class.

He came 2nd on the 1976 Wonder Muffler Northern Lights NARA Rally in Midland, MI. and 2nd at the 1978 Twenty Stages Rally in Michigan just 0.19 seconds behind Scott Harvey's 4WD Dodge Aspen - to name a couple.

Wow there used to be a rally in Midland, Mi ? (that's where i grew up) WOW

My 1974 142E is not that fast, but it still runs. There may be a relationship there.
