Bob, Is that little white TR your car? How did you make it from Airman 1st
Class to 21st at Sebring in a TR3? I'd love to know more about your run at Ft.
Sumner and at Sebring. As would I'm sure the FOT Group.
Cheers Henry

Henry,
That is great. It is 90 % more than I had before. I was pitted beside that
Dr. Sherrod. Really nice guy. I should have followed up with that contact, as
I found out at that race that the Texas people had too much money for a lowly
Airman 1st. class to run against. Thank you ever so much for this much. I
have the trophies from Sumner but no program or action photos. As I said,
that Morgan was from Texas, with black uniformed crew, trailer for the car,
with an aluminum body on the Morgan. Here I am, fresh from Europe and racing
my ride home. Worn my tires out during practice and got the tires off of the
Roswell dealers demo car to run the race with. The dealer name was Bill Hart.
Did you ever hear of him? Very fine fellow We will talk more about this
event and the hill climb at Los Alamos. Please run me a copy of the program.
It is strange that I either never had a program or did not retain it, which is
had for me to believe, as I retained everything of those race involvement's. I
will copy my pit photo to you when I get it back. It is loaned out right
now.
My address is:

Bob, Here is what I've got. All the photos are from the event in Oct. '56.
There is a TR in the photo Titled "they're off" on the left. These photos and
the program were given to me by Bill Randle who drove Porsches. Please send
me your address so I can send you my Sebring book that I'm having all the
drivers I can get who drove there to sign.

Henry,
Do we have any contact with FOT members in West Texas? The majority of the
cars at the Ft. Sumner race were from Texas. For example, there was an
aluminum bodied Morgan, that I beat, that was from Texas. He came over after
the race and seemed very provoked, as he said he had never been beat by a TR
previously. I will appreciate any help you will be able to provide.
Bob Johns
