Perseverance has paid off, After 10 months, the long awaited package has landed in the UK, A few Poor quality photo copies of Period racing pictures of BEX333, a little dissapointing, However more than compensated by the 12 Brass racing Plaques and five plastic plaques which confirm / substatiate Jim Parsons Racing History with BEX333 during Period 1958, 1959 & 1960.
Basically they authenticate the listing already published, with the added bonus of the following:-
4 x Larger Brass Plaques ( approx 105mm x 68mm) as below:-
ICNSCC Racing Championship 1958 1st Jim Parsons Class B Prod
CNC Racing Championship 1959 1st Jim Parsons Class B Prod
CNC Racing Championship 1960 3rd Jim Parsons Class B Prod
PugetSoundssc " " 1960 1st Jim Parsons Class B Prod
A few more SSC of British Columbia:-
BMC Tourist Trophy 10-02-1960 2nd Class B Prod
VAN-MAN-VAN Rally Overall 3rd place
4th ELLENBURG PSSCC Race 9-28-1958 1st B Prod
SCCA Shelton 4-19-1959 2nd Class D over1600 Pro
If anyone has any printed data or pictures to complement any of the above can you please forward copies, much appreciated.
A couple of the pictures will be posted tomorrow,(Excuse the quality, but better than nothing) in the meantime, I will examine the photo copy pictures and hopefully glean some more information.
A very big thank you to all those who have encouraged me to keep in contact with Mrs Parsons, I now have more accurate history of BEX333 and some new lines of enquiry .... A new Challange which hopefully not only produces more data on BEX333 but also some period Facts and pictures of other Aces raced in NW USA during the 1950s & 60s.
