In 1963 Peter Bolton and Mike Rothschild did 612 miles in the 12 hours of
Sebring, and first in class. In 1966 Bill Pendleton and Steve Froines did 877
miles in 12 hours at Sebring and, first in class. All were done in my TR-4
cars. Dick Gilmartin and Mike Rothschild did 826 miles in the 12 hours of
Sebring 1966 and 2nd in class, another of my cars, Ludwig Heimwrath and Craig
Hill did 770 miles and third in class at the same year. Long time ago, but
pretty tough going for the day it was. So the three cars racked up 2,473 miles
of RACING and won the Team prize also. I guess those Triumph stock parts
aren't so bad after all.
Never be beaten by equipment
