Best I can tell, Paul Newman won the 1976 SCCA D Production championship in=
 a TR6, beating the factory TR7.=C2=A0 That was Newman Haas Racing, not Gro=
up 44.=C2=A0 Rumor has it that he purchased the car from Group 44 car as th=
ey had moved on to Jaguars I think.=C2=A0 That=E2=80=99s all I can find.=20

There is a guy in the St. Louis region, Dennis Wilson (no, not the Beach Bo=
y) who raced a TR6 in the late 70's at a time the factory was running a TR7=
 (TR6 was out of production at this time).=C2=A0 He had film footage of a r=
ace where he was leading a race with a factory Porsche 924 hot on his tail.=
=C2=A0 One lap to go and Dennis lost a section of tire tread and the Porsch=
e slipped by.=C2=A0 The commentary was hilarious.=C2=A0 The play-by-play gu=
ys were incredulous that this dowager TR6, a car designed in the 50's, was =
beating Porsche's latest offering.=C2=A0 And he would have had the tire hel=
d together.=20
