Sorry all, and the main reason why I write things down. Smiley's car was the first Mk 21 in the states, through Race America which was owned then by Bill Ippilitto. Brownlee bought a new car from Race America, moving up from FF, his being the second. Mike Winn bought the car from Brownlee and entered it in the Runoffs, where Brownle had listed the Merlyn on his entry also, but actually competed in a March. Doesn't solve the mystery for you of the Westwood entry, yet, but let me get through my "log books" this weekend and we will see what I come up with.
Agree with you about Loring, he was brilliant in a totally different way than Smiley, he was EXTREMELY tidy with the car, never scrubbing off speed, and hence his success in FF, I think.
I will keep working on the history of these 2 cars and get back, as I would certainly like to see the Smiley car again.
