Appears that maybe one of them raced a Healey 100S. Found this link
referring to: "...Cdr. Fred L. Losee, U.S.N. was an original member of the
well known "Lavender Hill Mob". This was a group of Washington D.C. SCCA
Region members who brought organized (and sometimes disorganized - witness
SCCA's annual Halloween Holocausts) sports car racing to the Capitol area.
To name but a few members: 1.) Dick Thompson (another dentist) who raced at
Le Mans six times, won the 1000 kilometer race at Spa in 1966 with Jackie
Ickx and established the Corvette as a true race car. 2.) Charlie Wallace.
a well known Porsche and Jaguar driver. 3.) Bill Kincheloe, a championship
Healey 3000 driver. .."

caption: "AHS 3802 with John & Evelyn Mull at Marlboro Raceway in Maryland
