Long shot here - does anyone have to hand a reliable contemporary report, or contemporary results listing, for the Palos Verdes Time Trails run in California on December 28, 1947?

Doug, long shot here ! Philip Payne ran the "Baldwin Special" at Palos Verdes on that day. was winner in class 1, and FTD. as of 2001 his family in England still owned the car. maybe they would have some documents from that event ? or have passed it on to whom ever has the car today ? ? link here with some information on the car and that day.
