I thought these links to John Wilson's photos might be of interest to some of you. John Wilson is a Motorsport photographer on the west coast. Unfortunately, there were no captions so I tried to identify the drivers/cars I could;

It was really kind of John to pull these Sunbeam images from his archives and post them to the internet. He sells these images, too. https://www.vintagemotorsportphotography.com/servlet/the-SCCA-RACE-CARS/Categories
