Since I finally have my 1965 Beach Mk 4B sports racer (HM) on track, I've
been inspired to dig more into the Beach and Begra sports racer history.
I have compiled spec sheets and photos of Beach Mk 4 sports racers at
http://www.3rdtech.com/nick/cars/beach-photos.html
I have a list of serial numbers and known car histories at
http://www.3rdtech.com/nick/cars/beach-serial.html
Begra info is at
http://www.3rdtech.com/nick/cars/begra.htm
I have talked a bit with Hugh Kleinpeter and several other Beach sports
racer owners and will talk to Gene Beach as well. Most of the info comes
from a list that Hugh and Gene once compiled, plus articles in Victory Lane,
Vintage Motorsport, Sports Car, and R&T.
If you have any more info about any of the cars or can provide me with any
lead to the following Beach/Begra drivers, I'd really appreciate it -
Barbara Knight (Texas)1965-
Hugh Grammer (Dallas/Ft. Worth) 1965-
Jug Latham (Texas) 1965-
Walt Mays (Texas) 1965-
Don Wands (midwest) 1975-76
John Girdler (CT / NY) 1968-69
T. Buckley (?) 1969
Bill Mundus (Detroit) 1965-68
Ken Edwards (Kansas City) 1967
Please feel free to pass this along to anyone who might be interested or
might know where to find these folks
Many thanks,
