VINTAGE RACE JACKET

Post by dspgti »

Do any of you old timers out there recognize the name Sheila Bunch?
She would have been a driver or corner worker at the Duryea Hillclimbs and Reading Road Races held at the Reading Airport for the years 1968 thru 1970.
I am trying to attach a picture of a jacket with race patches.

I wonder if they were a club thing at the time. I have its twin from Keith Weidner, came with my MGA.

Hi Sue,
Thanks for the response.
Is this jacket part of a fire suit or like you say a club or team jacket?
It may have not belonged to the woman who had it or been a wife or relative of the owner?
I’m going to contact Ron Mann to see if he has registrations or results from those races.

Lightweight, not a fire suit. Keith was skinny back in the day, so it doesn't even fit David.

Very interesting patches on that jacket.
I sent a message to Ron Mann if he had any results or registrations that would identify the owner of the jacket I found.
