How can you not know Hardy Prentiss?
He's been running that TR3 since the early 70's when he flat towed it to
Road Atlanta behind his Jaguar E type coupe...
I don't think he's been at the Runoffs in the past few years, but then
neither have I...

I am now trying to stretch my memory, since I haven't found my old
correspondence. The year SCCA required the dual braking system, Hardy ran a
race or two using the stock system without being caught. He then tried to
adapt another system, maybe from a British Taxi Cab. Someone from the
Roadster Factory told me that Hardy would start the race with brakes, and
them lose them half way through the race. After many years of success, Hardy
decided to park his white TR-3 before the end of this season.
