It was too bad the class didn't work. But, it was very good for Geico. Numerous championships while racing no one....

when the turbine class idea came across JC.s desk . he said NO!!!! They catch on fire ! too much risk ,never enough participants ,
He had already gone thru that disaster.

Finally after 5 teams commited he put turbine back on the roster.

i never cared for the class myself ,but it did garner attn.
Throw enough $$$$$ at something and people get involved.
I always liked team tho,
haggin was a hoot.

That "Haggin was a hoot" may be the understatement of the year.

He certainly was......
