Hi,
Several things:
The Paul Newman story is well documented in both video and printed format -=
 check them out.
There is a book about the Works Triumphs - you might find some information =
there.
I'm pretty sure the 75 McComb SCCA championship was D Prod. Newman's 76 was=
 DP - the car had been reclassified from C Prod.
There was a film released about the Denny Wilson runner up race - I've seen=
 it on YouToob. It's funny hearing David Hobbs early in his broadcast caree=
r. I say that as a consumate David Hobbs fan, of course.
Back to the Newman car - it was the same car that McComb drove - sold to PL=
N and raced and then sold. That car (and as legend has it) was totalled but=
 re-emerged in the mid to late 80's and was purchased and restored by Bill =
Warner=C2=A0 (Amelia Island) and sold somewhat recently to Adam Corolla. Wh=
en Warner had the car, it was dressed as Gp 44, Corolla has returned the ca=
r to PLN livery.
Depending on what you are looking for, I may be able to help you with other=
 TR6 competition information...
Regards,Bob Lang
