Kelly. Joe Hines is racing in the clouds. I talked to him back when I bought the car and he provided me with a few period pictures and some background. He ran the car just one year and continued on with other cars. He ran a few time in the Daytona 500. T.J. Kelly was a long time Morgan racer but I haven’t been able to locate him. Wilber Pickett has a long racing resume and he even shared a car with Bob Tullius at some point. C.C Canada was around a bit too. Does anyone know of the whereabouts of any of these drivers?<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d">Bob<u></u><u></u></span></p><div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">Plans are being made to be at Amelia Island and Sebring 12 Hour in March 2017.<u></u><u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">The plan so far is to have the:<u></u><u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">57 Sebring TR3 from the UK<u></u><u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">63 Sebring TR4 from the UK<u></u><u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">TR250K that ran in the late 60s<u></u><u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">Bob Kramer's Sebring TR4<u></u><u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">Russ Pierce plans to bring the Macau.<u></u><u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">HSR is the sanctioning body and will have the schedule and entry information.<u></u><u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">Lodging is an issue and should be pursued early on.<u></u><u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">(I plan to stay at the track)<u></u><u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">There are no designated project people leading the charge on this.
