I am trying to locate any material (printed yearbooks, entrry forms, films,
and photographs....) of a certain car that ran at Bonneville from 1950 to
1956. The car is the ex Spurgeon and Giovonne Roadster that Carl Borgh
turned 141 mph in 1954 at Bonneville and turned 149 in 1955 there. The ran
under the number "67" I am copmpiling a history of the car and am
interestedin purchasing any items availabe on the car. I will also be
looking to acquire some drive line parts for the car... I thank you in
advance for any help you can give me.

David,
Carl Borgh was my crew at a couple of Bonneville races in the mid 90's. I
met him at the Knight Foundry, a 19th century historic foundry he owned in
Sutter Creek, CA. He talked often of his experiences with the roadster and
the 6 cylinder engine in it.
Unfortunately, Carl passed away a year or two ago. I could put you in
touch with his widow Ellie if you want to pursue that avenue.
