1963 RAC was the 1st rally I saw.*....Dad was #79. the Start was in Blackpool, Stage 1 Grizedale then a road section through Ambleside, up The Struggle to a PC at top of Kirkstone....then down past Brotherswater [where we lived] and onto Greystoke for Stage 2. I stood in our car park watching the cars going past [can still picture them now] before #79 stopped.
* Though I'd seen lots of other types of motorsport before then, I hadn't seen any rallies presumably as most were at night and Dad was likely to be competing, he wouldn't have taken me along.

Unsurprisingly winner of the "U.S.A. Trophy" on the 11th London Rally, 22-23 September 1961, in the Sprite with W. Metcalf. He was Hal Folts, seen 1961-1963, in Sprite and Mini-Cooper etc.

Hal served two years in the US Navy [...]
Hal's early positions sent him to England where he took up motor sports; rally, Formula Ford, & mechanic. His chassis builder's wife had a sister, Jennifer Mary Stitson, with whom he fell in love and married. Hal's US Government job took them to Germany, France and back to England. During this time his three children were born; Karen, Michelle, and Bryan. In the Summer of 1970 the family moved to Vienna, Virginia, USA. Back in the States, Hal traded auto racing for boating and fishing.
