...Christoph Michael Wackernagel, 26, a former movie actor who is the video expert for the Red Army gang, the Dutch had managed a feat that has so far eluded a whole army of German policemen. After Schleyer's body was found in the trunk of an abandoned car last month, West German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt ordered up his country's biggest postwar man hunt to track down the 16 Red Army gang members suspected of involvement in kidnaping and murder. Some 80,000 policemen have been thrown into the search-manning roadblocks, border crossings and airports all over...

Medenica and Aronson will spend as much time as they can this winter putting together promotion kits, trying to pour some advertising dollars into the car. While top-level teams have no problems selling and space on their cars (witness the E-Z Wider car of two seasons ago), it may be difficult to sell potential advertisers because of the obscurity of Formula Ford races. The two entrepreneurs will also seek patrons wherever possible. Medenica's commitment to the effort is complete--he says he decided to attend Business. School in order to make enough money to keep racing...
