Ray looks like a mug shot for a serial killer in the first shot. I always found him a helpful gentlemen, and liked him a lot.
Is he on the forum, or does anyone know of his whereabouts?

The girl on the left is Gail Markus - a Dutch girl we employed as Miss BDR&HRA. The girl on the right was Miss Scotland at the time but I can't remember her name.

Probably never even saw the cars on the start line - just had eyes for the 'totty'
and you are right tim - Ray was 'Old School' - a perfect gentleman.

[crazyhorses]

Yeah but we were good at totty in the '70's. Ray was a nice guy though.

I think it may have been in the article posted above, but anyway I remember reading somewhere that the twin headlight arrangement on Houndog Vega "followed the trend in the US" Can anyone recall this set up on any US race Vegas? pix would be great.
