Good Morning Andy,
will try my best concerning the pictures of your Mini Marcos and hope to find some time over Christmas. The pictures are black & white, because in these days a "poor schollboy" could not afford coloured pictures.
I bought from EBAY a french newspaper "champion" September 1966 with a big story from the Ballot-Lena LM Mini Marcos, problems, testing & preparation & race report and a story from the team owner Jean-Claude Hrubon. Written in french, if you are interested I can make you copy.
So hope to see you soon back driving the "green hell". Probably you saw the pictures of Klaus and Alan Tice from 2003 "Nordschleife OGP" & "Eifel Klassik". Klaus unfortunately had problems with fixing the bonnet on his Fastback (the green one) Alan Tice did a tremendous race on the Nordschleife OGD and was third after a Ford GT40 and Porsche 904. On the Eifel-Klassik under typhcal Eifel - weather he lost in the last lap the lead to a Corvette 5,4 ltr because the track dried up.

Good Morning Christian!
Thank you for the links. I miss the Nuerburgring Nordschleife (the old
North Course race track) and look forward to racing there again someday. My
FIA International C competition license expired last year but I am so busy
in my work that I could not race much anyway. I do hope to get back out on
the race track sometime next year.
Yes, Billy Dulles is William Dulles. And he lives in The Phoenix, Arizona
area. So he is only 3 hours driving time north from my house now.
I would VERY MUCH like to see your photos of Billy's Mini Marcos race car
(270 DGJ). It did not race at Monza or Spa-Francorchamps. But it did race
at Mugello, the Chamrousse Bergrennen, and the Nuerburgring 500 km Rennen in
1966. Do you have any color photos?
Billy is happily retired now. I hope to visit him at his house in
Scottsdale / Phoenix early next year.
Best Regards and Happy Holidays!
Andy
