The very first racing car I ever saw in action was a Karmann-Ghia at the May 1963 Regional at Marlboro. It was silver with red accents, and I didn't know what...
Hi Steve, I got a wonderful e-mail from Sue Roethel. I had sent an e-mail to SCCA & they were good enough to pass it on to Sue I was very pleased that she...

I feel a little silly introducing some of you, since most of you know each other & it's I that am new to most of you Any rate, Phil also lives in the DC area,...
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...
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...
... 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...
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 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 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 ...
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 ...
Now that I think of it, it probably was not a 12 hour - maybe 6. Steve Lloyd would probably know. The trivia question is a hoot and I'll post the answer in a...
I appointed Dave to the position of Regional Historian back when I was WDCR RE in the late 80's. I never imagined it would become a life-time appointment for...
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...
... I'm pretty sure that the last few enduros were six hours. Jerry Crawford won with his McLaren Mk 1 and won the President's Cup as a result. Question! Did...
Rumor squashing dept! The "museum" thing was a misunderstanding on the part of Gordon. He does have museum & archiving credentials however, which could be...
Gentlefolk, This link Denny provided earlier contains the answer: http://website.lineone.net/~pete.stowe/pete_howmet.htm It was the Marlboro 300, which, I'm...
Hi Phil, The name Art Tweedale rings a bell, although I'd not recognize him The 12 hour was for sedans & was probably the most important sedan race in the...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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 have been wanting to reply, but absence and infirmity have kept me silent. I'm glad to see so muich of the exhage is in agreement with these thoughts. ...
