Rick Mandelson's Scrapbook

Editor's note: When TVR first created this section from Rick's scrapbooks, we were not completely sure of the chronological order, so these pages are in somewhat of a random order.  It won't make any difference though... this is such great stuff! - DZ


A very young Rick Mandelson

This is my 1958 Porsche Speedster, the only racecar I ever owned. Here it is in it's F Production configuration. In fact, you can still see the paint on my Michelin tires. I had just finished putting that car together.  
That's a Austin Healy hunched over behind me, followed by a Daimler, coming out of the toe of the boot at Marlboro. 
Next, I ran E Production, instead of F Production. EP was an upgrade. The California rules came in where you could do modifications to the motor, hot cam, compression, etc. My sponsors gave me 60 mm brakes to replace the 40 mm brakes that couldn't stop you at all.
