I remember meeting and chatting with Phil Hill at the 1975 British Leyland
party at the SCCA CSPRRC (Champion Spark Plug Road Racing Classic at Road
Atlanta) at the Gainesville Holiday Inn.
Boy were those the glory days!
David Hobbs was there as were the BL team.
The 3 Mikes: Mike Dale (drove a bug-eye at the time), Mike Cook (we all know
Mike!) and Mike Barratt (east coast competition guru, I'm still driving his
carb rebuild on my Spitfire).
Group 44, Huffaker, all the drivers and crew of BL products (MG, AH,
Triumph, Jaguar) were there.
A grand time was had by all!
If only I took photos!
Perhaps Mike Cook and Ted Schumacher can expand on this gala event!
My claim to fame was suggesting they have Watneys Red Barrel at this event
(the bar had only 'merican brews). The next year we had Watneys!
