    A very nice gentleman with an immaculate, street-driven, time trial car, built by his close friend Bill Yates with many, many 'special' parts.

    Thumbs up

    A quick search finds Dave Carsten was the 1969 PCA San Diego reginal president and co-editor of their Windblown Witness news letter...

    That's a very tidy look'n weekend race program indeed....

    Yep, Dave Carsten. He had all kinds of trick stuff in that car. The color was light blue with orange stripes.
