"Triumph TR8s took first and second place on the Northern Lights Rally in Michigan, the fourth round of the SCCA Pro Rally Championship. Yet again John Buffum took the victory, his third of the season, with the similar car of Jon Woodner five minutes behind at the Finish. Hendrik Blok had challenged for the lead until he broke a drive shaft on his Plymouth Fire Arrow."
Interesting to note a Saab 99 (running the slant 4) took first in it's class also.
