On November 12, 2009, The Petersen Automotive Museum hosted a<br />
“Tribute To Trans Am”. George Follmer and members of the Roy<br />
Woods Racing team were honored guests. John Ryal’s, fabricator for<br />
RWR, and southern California resident, entertained the attendees with<br />
stories from “back in the day”. In addition, Ryals brought the Mark<br />
Donohue racing seat that was originally installed by Donohue in <strong>Javelin</strong><br />
<strong>#1</strong> back in 1970. In June of 1995, at the request of Juan Gonzalez,<br />
Ryals had removed the Donohue seat and replaced it with a more<br />
supportive aluminum seat. For the next fifteen years, Ryals safely<br />
stored the seat- waiting to return it to <strong>Javelin</strong> <strong>#1</strong>. At the “Tribute to<br />
Trans Am”, Ryals presented the current owner with the original seat<br />
for <strong>Javelin</strong> <strong>#1</strong>.
