I am working hard to track down the history of a TR4 race car I recently
bought. With the help of Frank Harmstad (Porsche racer) I have tracked it back
to a Joe Hines. I do not know if Joe owned more than one TR4 but he is listed
as the owner of a TR4 that ran 186 laps in the 24 Hour Daytona in 1967. He
also placed 9th at that years ARRC at Daytona. Interestingly, I have a picture
of my ex-Bob Stewart TR4A, which was at the ARRC in Daytona in 1967 as an
alternate (ran practices but not the race) with a TR4 in the background that
appears to be the Hines car. I'm pretty excited about this find and I'd like
to verify the participation but I can't find any pictures showing the Hines
car. Does anyone know of Joe Hines or his car? Are there any websites with
pictures of that race? Any help appreciated.
