I find it amazing that Phil Hill could have taken all those marvelous =
photographs while at the same time competing at the top of the heap. =
That takes a LOT of depth as a human being, and a huge amount of self =
confidence. Anyone have the book yet?

  I remember meeting and chatting with Phil Hill at the 1975 British =
Leyland party at the SCCA CSPRRC (Champion Spark Plug Road Racing =
Classic at Road Atlanta) at the Gainesville Holiday Inn.

  Boy were those the glory days!

  David Hobbs was there as were the BL team.
  The 3 Mikes: Mike Dale (drove a bug-eye at the time), Mike Cook (we =
all know Mike!) and Mike Barratt (east coast competition guru, I'm still =
driving his carb rebuild on my Spitfire).
  Group 44, Huffaker, all the drivers and crew of BL products (MG, AH, =
Triumph, Jaguar) were there.
  A grand time was had by all!
  If only I took photos!

  Perhaps Mike Cook and Ted Schumacher can expand on this gala event!

  My claim to fame was suggesting they have Watneys Red Barrel at this =
event (the bar had only 'merican brews). The next year we had Watneys!
