Found some fascinating footage of racing at Palm Springs on the Allard Register site, including a wildly futuristic #66 Alfa Romeo driven by Al Williams (?) @ 1:33, note the way the fire marshals deal with the incident at 1:07 !

Here is a link to the less than complete entry list.

Wondering if anyone at TNF can help Colin Warnes of the Allard Register identify the white car #192 seen at 4:40 in this clip ?

My best guesses would be either Wilfred Gray or Harry Woodnorth who both raced #92 Allards around this time, but I know that previous numbers are not always the best way of identifying entries missing from the entry list, I also realise the #192 might not be an Allard at all.

Thanking you in anticipation of your responses.

Try ART EVANS f50s@yahoo.com at the FABULOUS 50'S or BILL POLLACK at togobill@att.net. They both were there racing.

Palm Springs 1955
there is a good pic of the white Cad-Allard of Tom Bamford that ran in this same race meeting in Sports Car Illustrated July 1955 page 31

Thanks Terry, not a periodical I can easily lay my hands on would, you happen to know what number Tom Bamford ran with in the photo, I can not see him on the entry list linked on Post #1 of this thread ?
