Thanks for the backgrounder Steve. Earlier today I mentioned a couple of Marlboro-era names to Steve L as possible candidates for this august forum. I also...
I got a few postings that seemed to be talking about a museum, but were not. Sorry if I confused anyone. I should think that the next step would be to find out...
Hi Denny, To bring you up to speed... This whole thing started when I got quite a reaction to the feature I did on Marlboro last month on my website...
Steve Lloyd has re-joined the group under a new ID due to <insert tech jargon here>. e-mails to old posts under his previous ID won't work. They didn't work...
Gents, Please welcome my friend, Denny Austin, to our forum. Denny has quite a racing CV, but here are some highlights: my dad and I took him to his first...

Hello all, I was surprised by talk of a "museum". First I heard of such a thing was in a email from Gordon White. Perhaps he was misinterperating what the...

Another point that I neglected to address, both in your earlier post & in an e-mail with Bob Gayle mentioned that the archives was large & un-organized & in a ...
Hi Phil, I agree that eyeballing the thing is a critical 1st step. Having some idea of what we want to do is probably important at that juncture as well & I ...
It seems to me we should get an idea of the size of Dave's archive before making any grand plans. Do we know if Gayle has any other Marlboro info other than...
Hi It may have been in '68, but the last 12 hour was in '66 & they were sedan races. To my knowledge the 12 hour didn't have a second coming after that ...
... It was '68 in the 12 Hour, the same year Rover attempted LeMans with a turbine car - and the Marlboro victory predated their unsuccessful attempt. Marlboro...
Gents, I've assembled a few thoughts here for your consideration & by way of seeding a discussion about objectives & strategy around documenting Dave Roethel's...
Gents, I'm told that Vintage Motorsport's current feature, not on the stands yet, has a feature on the Marlboro 12 hour I've not yet seen the issue & don't...
