You're killin' me, been wondering who that guy was since seeing him at Watkins Glen 40 years ago!

My former NZ former unicyclist former mechanic verifies that it is not only Ray Grant but that his nickname was "Kojak" ( don't shoot the messenger!)

Tony "smokey" Attard was also around at this time. Tony was a mechanic at M W Motors (Alfa Dealer) in Melbourne and left to join McLaren in 1969,he now lives in USA,retired from race mechanics and now is a professor at a college some where. Cheers Simmo.
