I'll let Edd Brady know you posted those photos, Brian. Thanks! He is in the process of building a Lotus Elan into a 26R replica, and still has MIGBA. [indent][/indent]Thanks for the memory jog. It's hard to realize it is no longer around. One man's treasure, another man's trash. Hey, Edd, what happened to that race truck? I sold it to Wiggy when we down-sized in 2006 because I had no place to keep it. He took it to New Mexico and ran it in some open track event(s). Wiggy sold it to fund some sort of rally-cross venture. The new owner spun a rod bearing at an open track. He said he tried to drive it home, but the motor seized. Years later I enquired about trying to salvage it, but he indicated he had more important things to do and had "liquidated it". Edd |

I see first name of Steve Ryan. I worked with a Steve Ryan 30 yrs ago. Gotta be same guy. He was into autocross way back then. He was running a Maroon Vega Station wagon. At work we were doing tire testing. In lot of cars was a prototype Saleen Mustang. Autocross course set up. I took one lap and beat Steve’s best time. He tried n tried never went faster. Huge stroke of luck I guess. Good ole days. Yes, it was that Steve Ryan. Timeline is about right. "Infamous" for playing with Vegas initially, his last car was a venerable Corvette that he autocrossed with great gusto. Favorite memory was when the guys placed a remote control car under one apex pylon, and when Steve approached, they moved it........ ![]() ![]() ![]() Very good ol' days. ![]() -------------------- Scott Meyers

Figured it had to be him. Have not seen him since 1987-88 He often worked on the Vega after hours. Handy dandy drive on scales. We called him the dummy guy... He was one who set up crash dummies for accident Reconstruction. I helped prep cars & sometimes helped him Set dummies in car or truck. Once we set up two on a Harley and sent it into a pickup truck. -------------------- Randy Honkala
