"That would be great Daniel. We always need grid sheets, entry lists and other documentation on 'pro' races or on Nationals. All sorts of interesting things raced at Riverside!"
Are you the man who raced a Chevron B19 in SuperSports from 1994 to 1998? I am researching these cars at the moment (http://www.oldracingcars.com/marques/chevron/b19.htm) and am keen to know who owned it before you. Do you remember who…"
"What we need at the moment is a manufacturer committed to the production of energy-efficient vehicles and the US has a great chance to take the lead in this as it has a major manufacturer by the balls. Creating a new manufacturer from scratch would…"
Are you the John Grant that ran a Chevron B19 in Supersports a few years ago? We're researching B19s on 10 Tenths at the moment and I'd be keen to know the history of yours.
I'm glad you enjoyed the pictures. I have many more to sort and scan. I also have several programs from the F5000 era at Riverside. I'll try to put together a file of my open wheel pictures to share with your site. I also have some grid sheets and related magazines.
My BT16 is chassis number 4 (EX.TREVOR TAYLOR) with signed Sir Jack Brabham. This converted lotus twincam engine in 1966 HSCC ID log ,and was totally restored by Mr. Simon Hadfield at 1985.
And then it was bought to North America ower who changed it to Kent engine.
About 12 years ago,my friend bought it from him.
Last year , I bought it form my friend ,and now it is restoring with lotus twincam.

You asked some time ago if I am the John Grant who used to race a Chevron B19 in Orwell Supersports - sorry it's taken me so long to respond. Yes indeed, this was me! I acquired the B19 in 2000 from Stephen Gibson, raced it for 5 years and sold it to Chris Roche in January 2005. Although the car's history was not supported by much documentation, it had chassis number 12 and was reputedly one of two cars sold new to Jo Siffert in 1970.
It served me very well, and I had many good results. I was runner up in the International Supersports Championship in 2000, won this championship in 2001 and then won the Orwell Supersports championship in 2002.
