I've had an e-mail enquiry regarding three drivers (who I must admit I haven't heard of). The question was regarding their nationalities, but any other information you could supply about them would enlighten me. The drivers are:-
Don O'Sullivan
Keith Dinnerville
Henry C.L. Lee
Anyone?

It is past midnight and I don't have time to look it up, but I think Don O'Sullivan was from Western Australia, raced big sports cars and (maybe?) F5000.
Ray Bell should know this one.
The other two don't ring any bells at all.

I knew it rang a bell. I really should put a search facility on OldRacingCars.com - it would save me so much time!
Don O'Sullivan was indeed Australian - or at least he lived in Australia from 1965 to 1967 when he ran the ex-Stillwell Gold Star winning Cooper T53 and then the surviving Cooper T70 in Tasman racing.

...then a McLaren M10A and/or M10B and maybe something else in F5000 before concentrating on big (Can-Am-type) sportscars. He won an awful lot of races in WA but not a lot anywhere else.
