Nick Fornora Of Danbury,
Conn. who showed up yesterday
in his German Porsche, takes the
opposing viewpoint despite a de-
cisive win by American makes
in Langhorne Speedway's 200
mile race June 81.
Fornora contends that the
afternoon sun brought oil to the
surface of Langhorne's one-mile
dirt oval and caused the track
to be slippery. Its a different
story on Lanham's quarter-mile
asphalt in the cool of night"
Fornora maintains" "Our for

the setup there. and they'll do a
much better job than they did
at Langhorne."
