And How! Allen R. Kuhn may be on PBS

Allen being interrogated by the PBS crew and showing one of his prize photos of Paramount Ranch circa 1957. We’ll let you know more about when and where this feature will be run.

Let me add a couple of shots from the troupers of the California Sports Car Club. They drove to the race track, took off their bumpers, taped the headlights, and put a number on the car. Then they waited for Al Torres to give his patented jumping green flag start. They knew they would take the win and also the jumping checkered flag from Al. We are at the race held on December 8, 1957. Some of the competitors were: #710 Harold Dixon MG TF Mk II, #30 Bruce Turner MGA, #186 Herbert Jackson MGA, #126 Ed Stewart MGA, and #237 Sam Taylor MG TD Mk II. From another photograph, I know the front row was all MGA’s. Starting from the right was: #67 Jim Parkinson, in the middle was Ray Pickering, and on his left was #111 Cam Cooper. Ray Pickering was about the only driver I actually knew when I was shooting. Ray was also a good mechanic and took good care of my TD. He even talked me through, on a pay phone, how to shift without using the clutch when my cable broke.
