As we have seen, Dick Irish made good use of the hairy, scary yet beautiful beast that is Ferrari 340/375 Comp Berlinetta, s/n 0322.
He entered four events in 1954, and finished well against the toughest competition money could buy; at the Glen he was fourth overall, behind the Cunningham of Phil Walters, the Ferrari of Jim Kimberly and the Cunningham of Sherwood Johnston. Even owner Marty Christensen did well with it in the two events he entered.
