Beach Mk 4B Sports Racer s/n 103 103-6702-gvr-01.jpg (749836 bytes)

Please help me trace my car's history - I am looking for any entry lists, results, and/or photos from SCCA races in SWDIV (Austin, Green Valley, Mansfield, Tulsa, etc.) in 1965-69 - looking for class GM, GSR, HM, HSR, (1965-67) or DSR (1968-70) sports racers (may have run with GP or HP cars). Please send me e-mail if you have any info or leads.
