The entry list shows 5 TR's entered. I went through the photos which were
pages removed from a photo album and matched up everything based on how they
numbered the Porsche for the particular event. The other photos were from
other events like the Spring (May) event at Ft Sumner sponsored by the Roswell
Sports Car Club.
I bought and sold to my dad a white 1957 TR3 (he still has it) that has Black
Stripes through the center and a Blue interior with Factory hardtop. It has
never been painted and is in good shape other than a few odd dents. The car
came out of Roswell and had a dash plaque in the door pocket from the "Pecos
Bill Gymkhana" from April of 1960. I have often wondered what other events it
participated in. We have never opened the glove box so it's still some kind
of time capsule. I'm hoping there's a Luger in there not just old spark
plugs.
It is a testament to the provenance of Sports Car Racing in those days to
think of all the wierd towns that had Sports Car Clubs and put on events. I
have programs from the Iraan hill climb in New Mexico (don't have a clue where
it was held) and the Mayhill hillclimb also held in New Mexico.
Sometime, late sixties early seventies, it just tanked...................
