Speaking of "point in time" issues--I'm replacing fairly large amounts of my TR3 tin with fiberglass (which has more to do with it being severely rumpled than any great weight savings). I might have

Don Marshall asked: There were no flares on the Kastner-prepared, Charlie Gates-driven TR4 in 1963 when I raced against it (and I had a real good view of it as it lapped me). There was also a list of

Hi Don, That's a bit of a thorny question; and one that I'm looking into a bit for another project. In this case, I've got an SCCA logbook from 1972 which clearly shows the flares on that car; its ac

"Common practice" or "legal"? Replacing one's headlights with taped-over styrofoam was a "common practice" at the time, as was reversing the direction of the headlights (TR 2/3s, Sprites, etc) but bo

Flares were indeed a bit of a thorny issue. As I understand it, they were not allowed in SCCA. However, they were frequently tolerated. And, if the article about the Group 44 GT6 is to be believed, i

There was a story circulating about the TR6 that Paul Newman bought from Group 44 and then won the national championship with. The story was that while the car had no flares, it was several inches w

I've looked at the Group 44 TR6 pretty closely lately, well pictures of it... The car that is being run right now in the Group 44 livery most def. has flares on the front fenders... TR6's have a acce

In the 1960s, no flares were allowed (or needed). By 1972, you could flare the fenders only enough to clear the tire, adn they had to be done with the original material.

The way I heard it, at Sebring the tires were not allowed to project beyond the body work. The TR4s didn't pass, so they cut up some tin cans, and fastened narrow strips to the wheel wells. That may
