Here we go again. Morty knows the facts about the published results being =
incorrect. Morty is right about the car that is about to go under the bri=
dge at the race start is being driven by Bob Oaker. Mike Rothschild start=
ed the race with # 34, the white TR3 with the white top. I took over in th=
at car about 1:00 and finished my second shift of the race in 19th place. =
Both of the other two TR3s developed clutch problems (sheared throw out bea=
ring shaft pin). The spare third car # 70 was withdrawn. #33 continued to =
be driven primarily by Bob Oaker, as Pennybacker was not able to drive with=
out the clutch. # 33 finished in 21 place. The record keeping was very lo=
ose in those days.
AAA was running things and no one from the officials committee bothered to =
make a final check as what drivers were to drive what cars. There was never=
any question in the Triumph Pit as to what the driver arrangement was to b=
e. Mike and I practiced in only #34. In 2007 I went to the race and took =
with me all kinds of data. I went to the officials office and discussed th=
e incorrect record issue with them. We had agreement and I was assured t=
hat the next time the record book was reprinted, corrections would be made=
. I have the trophy that was presented to the team for the first in class =
win. This happened within a year of when Mike Cook died. He discovered t=
he trophies in a closet of the Jaguar Headquarters in New Jersey. If we hav=
e the Kastner Cup, I will bring it for all to enjoy. The photo that is o=
n facebook as the heading of my facebook page is of the Triumph team. I w=
ill try to add that photo and the photo of the winning car with Mike and my=
self and the class winning trophy sitting on the hood (bonnet). There wa=
s none of the American magazines that got the results correct. There is an=
English car magazine that did get it right. If you see me, ask me how I=
could have, should have, gotten 18th place instead of 19th. It was the =
way of gentleman racing in those days. Once again, I hope that this will pu=
t this matter to bed. Thank you everybody for having an interest.
