..Cdr. Fred L. Losee, U.S.N. was an original member of the well known
"Lavender Hill Mob". This was a group of Washington D.C. SCCA Region members
who brought organized (and sometimes disorganized - witness SCCAs annual
Halloween Holocausts) sports car racing to the Capitol area. To name but a
few members: 1.) Dick Thompson (another dentist) who raced at Le Mans six
times, won the 1000 kilometer race at Spa in 1966 with Jackie Ickx and
established the Corvette as a true race car. 2.) Charlie Wallace. a well
known Porsche and Jaguar driver. 3.) Bill Kincheloe, a championship Healey
3000 driver.



There is an article about the Lavender Hill Mob in the December, 2003 issue
of The Straightpipe (Washington DC region SCCA).  You can view it at
