Amazingly enough, I have almost identical photos to those two! Taken same day, same place, only at a very slightly different angle.

The track is Wilmot Hills, Wis., the event was an SCCA Regional, the date was the middle Sunday of July, 1967. The car did not compete in the race at all, but just sat in the paddock like this all day. I also do not have any idea as to who owned the car. One interesting aspect of the car is that it had two wooden (?) blocks jutting up through the rear deck just aft of the engine. Don't know their purpose.

Hi,

Very sorry to butt in with an unrelated query, but finding some USA TNFers who know about 60s and 70s racing in their country is terrific.

I have been trying very hard for a number of years to trace the early history of my BT21C Brabham. I believe it may be the car McGlothlin raced at Sebring 68 and 69.

I have made probably 100 phone calls to the US but have never been able to find out anything about this person. My history trail starts with Pierre Phillips a race car trader and he doesn't remember it as it was one of many cars sold. My research now has found some 12 owners since the late 70s but stops with Pierre. Nothing I have done has helped me trace it prior to going over to the Northwest Oregon area where Pierre is based.

The car is now being raced and actually won its last race on Sunday at Mallala, South Australia - 1400km from home here in Sydney. A long drive yesterday to get home.

I try to do my bit for the Historic 1960s racing cars here if you are interested check out my 1960s racing cars 40 page newsletter at http://www.hsrca.com/

Any help you guys might be able to be would be wonderful.
