[Fot] Nuerburgring Nordschleife 400 km race

Might it be Kit Heathcote?  He lives in Canada and perhaps made the trip to the Glen.

    The story goes that Ken Richardson or a member of his Triumph Works TR2
    team
    back in 1953 or '54 pulled out the floor plug for the jack before the
    race
    and set up a funnel and a long hose so he could "use the facilities".
    During the race, he tried it (for the first time) and once the funnel
    was
    full, the aerodynamic force blew it all back up into his face.  Back
    then,
    they didn't wear full racing helmets, but goggles.
