Hi Mark,
I was crewing on Chip Bond's TR-4 at the time that
Jerry Mowery raced that car. We even worked on it a
little bit for him. He had Kearney's Race Service doing
most of the work for him at the time, as I recall. Jerry
is now (or was last year) racing a Datsun Z-car, a yellow
one as I recall. I don't know if I have any photos of it,
but Chip might. Go to http://www.gt-classics.com for
his contact info. He can probably tell you a bit about
the car during the time that Jerry had it.
