Hi, Matt. Thanks for the welcome.

Just to clear up a point, I owned Orange Julius. It started life as a sadly
neglected '65 Corsa back in 1972. I did all the prep work and participated
in So. Cal. speed events from about 1973 until 1980, when I moved to Seattle
and where I participated in SOVREN vintage racing. The car is now owned by
Steve Wren in the Seattle area. I sold it to him about 10 years ago. The
other orange car from the same era of So. Cal racing, that was sometimes
erroneously  referred to as the real "OJ", was an early model Conv with a
"World of Outlaws" wing on it. Earl Wheeler owned that one and sold it many
years ago (I don't know to whom). I competed him many times.
I've heard many references over the years to Orange Julius, and who now
owned it and where it was- all of them wrong. Just thought I'd set the
record straight.

Regards
Andy Clark
Camano Island, WA.
