RIP John.
When I imported my +8 to.USA in 1976, John was a great help negotiating the import regs which at the time were onerous. Mine was the first +8 in the area and I lived about 2 miles from his house so we got together frequently. I also auto crossed with him mainly to admire his competitive spirit, even in the +8 I could never come close to his lap times.
When he moved and I gave up my USA mog membership we lost touch but he will be forever remembered as Mr Morgan USA.
