I notice that John Colgate drove some of those early Sebring Sprites, also drove Austin Healeys. Do you know if he is related to the soap and toothpaste Colgates?
Steve Colgate who runs a sailing school and competed in Americas Cup races is an heir and is about the right age to be a brother or cousin or something.

Anyone know who might have raced a Frazer-Nash at Marlboro in 1955? That driver
raced under the number 110. I am trying to help someone track down a car and
driver combination. Thanks, folks.

Steve,
  I did not find a Marlboro car, but there was a Frazer Nash at Hagerstown in
1955 #202 of Frank Adams and another at Cumberland in 1955 #247 of Charles Moren
Jr.

Besides Jim McDaniels & Rick M who were the hot shoes in FV. When did Bill Scott
race FV

Did the DC Region produce any FV National Champions?

Bill Scott won the BIG FV race at the Nurburgring (and then was hit by a
spectator car while walking on the track the next year, resuling in
serious injuries.) He won the FSV series, and he and Milner dominated
for years with their teams.

Cheers, Bob

The first time I saw Bill Scott run was in 1966. In 1968 Bill finished 2nd in
the NE Division and went on to become National Champion in the US and Europe. In
1969, the last year of Marlboro, Bill did double duty in a FF Royale (3rd
NED/dnf ARRC) and a FV McNamara (2nd NED/2nd Arrc).

There is a website out there called historicaerials.com
Lucky for us it covers portions of Maryland. Just type in Marlboro Raceway in
their search window and an aerial will appear of the track with the choice of 8
different years.
I starts in 1953 with the earliest configuration, the 1/3 mile dirt oval. Then
switch to 1957 and you will see the road course added. The other years available
are 1963,1970,1980,2002,2005 and 2006.

My son found this historical article on the Lavender Hill Mob and Marlboro.

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1133363/index.htm

Sure brings back memories!

Aloha Ron,

Thank you for sharing this.

I can confirm that the Steel Cities region was miffed when the Washington
contingent cme to their rce an took home most of the trophies.

A friend who has been a member of Steel Cities since around 1952 told me the
story several years ago.

Best wishes,

I added a comical map of the track Chuck Wilberger sent me. It's funny, don't
know origin or author but sure it's from very early days of track.

It's hard to imagine Marlboro or Summit Point without Bud Williams, who passed
away a few years ago. Sadly, this week we lost his wife, Marie. Here is the
information I received from Steve White:


Marie Williams passed away today. I learned of this from Vince Auletta. He said
the viewing will be Monday at Lee's Funeral Home in Clinton, MD from 2 to 4 and
6 to 8. The funeral info was sketchy, but probably Tuesday at a Catholic Church
somewhere near their home. If you want more info, contact Tommy Rougeaux at
703-282-5886.

I knew you'd want to know.

I've got an almost-complete collection of Vintage Motorsports for '96 through
'04.  Tried to sell them a couple of times on eBay, but now I just want to get
them out of the house.  I'd much rather find them a good home instead of tossing
them in the recycle dumpster.

They fill a storage box.  Pick them up and they're yours.  I live in Clifton, VA
and I drive to work in Rosslyn every day--my office is more or less where Fowler
Motors used to be.  If you're interested send me an email and we'll figure out
how to get them to you.

For those interested, I posted several items that I recently scanned related to
this race.  They were lent to me by David Ash's friend Stan Smilow who shared
his Motto MG with David at this race.  The race was won by Duncan Black in his
Lester MG and David took second in the Motto MG.  Stan won the novice race in
the Motto MG also.

Attached is the 4 part flyer about the race, Stan's tech inspection sheet
(anyone know who EJW was?), his driver tag and a couple articles about the race.
Don't know why the files got jumbled out of order when I loaded them, but if
anyone more technically savvy out there can fix the order, have at it.

Good Morning,

For about the last year or so I have been researching the road racing Pontiac
Tempests/LeMans of the early 60's. The first race in which these cars competed
was the 1961 Marlboro Twelve Hour. My reserach is summarized on a website
located at:

http://members.cox.net/tempest-lemans/index.htm

While I have been able to turn over a significant amount of information, I don't
feel like I have been able to get the whole story. Later this year, I will
adress the POCI (Pontiac Oaklnad Club International ) Convention and would like
to be able to tell the "Rest of the Story".

To date I have reviewed period newspaper and magazine accounts of the race. My
question is, does anyone in the group have any other information such as
documentation, photos, programs, posters, race results, entry lists,
rememberances, recollections, etc. they would be willing to share?

You may contact me via the Yahoo Marlboro Group, via the "Contact Us" page on
the website, via phone at 703-830-4163 or via USPS at:
