My stepdad campaigned a very strong MGV8 (215 ci buick) named the "Terrible Tempest" that had an engine similar to the indy version of the small aluminum 215 ci V-8 in the early 60s as well as a huge Pontiac V-8 (421ci) Kurtis and a privately owned factory prepared 289ci AC Cobra.  His competition number was usually 37 or a variation thereof, I would appreciate hearing from anyone that may have photos, videos, stories, etc. as most of his awards, programs, news articles, were lost during my mother's move from California to Illinois after his death on the track at Willow Springs in November of 1963.

Hope your site and followers may help me reassemble some race memorabilia.
