Spent some time last night looking back through old magazines to see if there was anything else I could add- certainly don't seem to have any more result information to add- I have very few 1984 Autosports, and though I should have a complete run of Performance Cars for the year, I can't find all of them at the moment
One thing that we're missing for quite a few of the Group A threads are details of race numbers, entrants and sponsors. Like I did in the '83 thread, here's a list of 1984's runners and riders, to see if we can fill in the gaps. I'll post each class separately to allow updating
