The black 554 roadster burned up in that huge fire in Oakland quite a while back. Soloman and Hartzog have built a new car, same number, same generally small displacement classes and still run.
Treit and I met them on the road by Pendleton, Oregon in 1968 on our way to thesalt. His square back VW had a flathead stored in the back and a shoe polish message on the side window........PRAY FOR GOOD SALT.
That's an ongoing prayer and is still relevant today.
