So soon another year passes the date that Bobby Marshman lost his life following his Phoenix testing crash in 1964. Thoughts to all that knew and admired Bob as family, friend and racer.

I have his autograph, along with Clark, Gurney, Chapman, and Hurtubise, all collected when the Lotuses were in Milwaukee in 1963, garaged at Zecol-Lubaid.

Just received this text from Scott Brayton's best childhood friend, Mark McComb, regarding Lee Brayton, Scott's Dad.

"Big Lee in Heaven. Catching up with Scott, Greg and Big Jim"



Mark's a great friend and my family has been blessed to know the Brayton's for nearly 30 years along with Jim Wright (Big Jim); God Speed Mr. Brayton and condolences to all of the family and friends of the Braytons.

Sorry to hear this and thanks for letting us know. Please pass condolences on.

I have send you a message to that address about a kind of repeat of the thing that I told you about what happened a year ago and you need to know about.

In the hope that a bit of promotion for CART history being looked upon elsewhere is  permitted by the moderators of the forum I make this post.

If not permitted: Moderators, remove it please

It's always nice to have a good piece of reading in the morning. And this looks like proper good literature to go through in the hammock in a minute.

Great stuff Henri. Congratulations on this article!
