   indeed, but both pics are from USRRC meeting on 26 April 1964.
   
   The Mobil ad implies that the photo of 98 filling up refers to the LA Times GP held 9-11 October 1964.

I`m glad you decided to show the items individually, rather than modelling the ensemble!

   Right, didn´t want to compromise you with my six pack body style ... (look at earlier posts).

Rumour has it that Trevor no longer has his six pack!

You know me too well 1023 - after a couple of weeks lying around the pool in the sarf of France, I now have a tummy as per the above.....
   
   Hope I'm allowed to say such things - I'm outta here. Bye.

Last weekend I made another acquisition:
   
   
   
   Note Lindner / Nöcker, Sutcliffe and Protheroe on there Jags in the entry list:
   
   
   
   Not in the entry list are Schlesser / Attwood (#99), Vincenzo Arena (Italy, # 100), Bondurant / Neerpasch (#101). #102 dns.
   
   
   
   Arena wrecked CSX 2323 in practice hitting the trees some feet high in the air escaping luckily with a broken jaw and to broken ribs:
   
   
   
   Gardner wrecked the Willment Racing Team car in practice, too.
   
   Schlesser / Attwood won the GT +3.0 class, 23rd overall after having repaired a coil wire on the track and throttle linkage problems. Olthoff / Hawkins were third in GT +3.0 class, 47th overall with a failed wheel bearing. Bondurant / Neerpasch had a race accident in first lap, then a broken shock and finally retired with a broken oil line in lap 12.
   
   In the World Championship GT III class Schlesser / Attwood scored 1.6 points for 6th place, while Ferarri scored 14.4 for the first place in class.
   
   
   
   Intersting is a special Hello to the american and british drivers:

How very bizarre, I know entrant #98, Warwick Banks really well. He lives near me and uses the same club bar as a watering hole! Infact we were both at a party in June of another local racing man, Pat Thomas and sat surrounded by historic lotus race cars, and a March Group C car & my Cobra! How very odd that you should post that!

   That´s life. But I think it´s no wonder; we all share the same passion. Say hello to Warwick: Greetings from the "Grüne Hölle". In the Three Litre Plus Class their Jaguar was sandwiched by the two Cobras, which meant a second place in class. However, there were only four cars to finish in this class: "To finish first, you have to finish first".

   To finish first  .......  First you have to finish.
   
   A Cobra / Jag / Cobra  Sandwich is always better to digest than a  Jag / Cobra / Jag  Sandwich.
   
   As they say  " It's the competing that counts" and  "you have to loose sometimes to appreciate winning."

   My grandpa always said: "Every thing has two sides: right, left, top, bottom"; in real life things are a little bit more complicated than black and white: the greyscales dominate!
   
   If you have racing blood in your venes (mostly originated by british genes ...), you definetely want to win. That´s where the phrase "second is first looser" comes from. I never competed seriously, but made many seconds and always was angry. I always was close to the first like Fisico was in his Force India last weekend. Not would I say that driving any car is same like driving a Cobra; nor would I say that racing is same like winning ...
   
   On the other hand to struggle with competitors in the midfield is more fun than to be a lonesome front runner ...
   
   Worth noting is that on that last weekend of May 1964:
   96 practised,
   81 started,
   46 classified.
   That´s why to bring the car home is a victory in itself!
