    I hope I can continue to keep these wonderful photos interesting to everyone even though they were taken in North America.

    I am old fashioned but I enjoyed it when the driver's name and the car number were shown boldly on the car, not like today where you can just see the top of the helmet and the number is barely visible through the sponsorships.

    Totally agree about the name placards. I was equally intrigued when they were used in the GP at Puke, and itwas a great thing. Woner why the concept went.

    Note Allan McCall, Jim's NZ mechanic at the L/F wheel area.
    Is that Keith Duckworth in the white shirt talking to Jim ?

    I do hope there are pics of local cars racing in the USA in this collection...

    They had some different classes and sought different solutions in some of those, with local makers also creating some very different cars.
