Hi and welcome.
I have a few questions about the Loring - Brownlee car. Mainly, was Westwood 1974 Loring's only race with the car or did he go on to a couple more of the early rounds? What motor was he running, a BDA or still a t/c? At Westwood he finished 4th on the same lap as the leader and in front of a lot of good people running BDAs [this was the first season Canada allowed them]. That suggests a BDA as well, but Westwood was a wet race and Loring was quite good...

At 1975 SCCA finals both Brownlee and Mike Winn race Mk21s. This was the source of my concern about there being more than one car in the US. Was the Winn car anything to do with the Brownlee set up. Was this the Smiley car from the UK rebuilt and also exported to the US, or something else again?
