Terry raced an early 3000 back in the late 1970's / 80's and also Sprites - he had a business in San Diego called
" The Toy Shop "

Here is Terry [ right ] and his racer back in 1982 at the workshop, with " BMC BOY " [ Ross on the left ] and Bryan Harris [ middle ]- two of my travelling companions, Bryan's wife, Brenda, was the fourth member of the VW Kombi

Touring group.

Attachment 62897

Many more to come up to around 50 photo's already " borrowed " - oops !!
:cool:

Thanks Roger, what I meant is that I don't capture much action or use a good lens etc. My pix are more when they are static or trundling through the pits/ paddock areas.
I have to admit I am a sucker for the IMSA prototypes., such as a Riley & Scott, Lancia Martini LC 2 etc.. so here are a few..
