I’ve been there. It’s a great site. When I bought this car I had no idea that it had the history that it does but my son found a 1969 picture of the car at VIR on the site. No pictures of a TR4 on the Danville 300 section so I’m hoping someone may have heard of these guys.

Has anyone ever heard of the Howard Smith TR4 that raced in Danville 300? It was the very first IMSA GT race held at VIR in April 1971? The car was numbered as 67 as is my TR4. The other driver was a Derek Sims and I have found a picture of him autocrossing his TR3. I dont think he is the owner because I found another race with a Howard Smith  TR4.

 

I am trying to fill in the gap from 1969 when a Robert Johnson ran it as the same #67, which it raced the ARRC in 1967, and when Ott Jenson took it to Pittsburg in 1974.
