Autosporteers:

Hello, I've written a screenplay biography of American racing driver Frank S. Lockhart and the story of his cars and career for my Master's Thesis. I started collecting info some 17 years ago for a lost-wax sculpture of his car.  I'm a long-time amateur historian and have a couple published articles, in the now-defunct AutoAficionado and other publications.

I look forward to hearing from you and am seeking unusual or unknown photos, anecdotes, and etc about Frank and his career.

Thanks in advance,

I used to see him, wearing goggles and a WW2 pilot's helmet, driving his stripped down Rover around the Earl's Court area in the mid 60s.

Bauble Bob - thanks for the heads up! Yes, audience, to clarify - this is the American Frank Lockhart, who perished at Daytona/Ormond in 1928.

Thanks again, Bob!

I don't have any info for you, John, but I do want to wish you good luck.

I'm working on a similar project about Walt Faulkner, but I'm shooting for filthy lucre rather than an M.A.
