I am trying to find a copy of the drivers car pass located in the top left passenger side front window of the car in the picture. These passes were part of the competitors package sent out to each competitor before the race with the purpose of identifying cars that were competing in the race. This pass would have given the Mini unchallenged access to all areas including the race track. A pass like this would be necessary for the HF 500 because the competing vehicles were series production cars which looked exactly like road cars other than advertising.
Each team entry would be given 1 x competing car pass and probably 1 x tender vehicle pass which would allow these 2 vehicles into the paddock area where space was limited. The passes themselves were printed on thin paper using black lettering. The colour of the paper changed each meeting but was always a light colour – green, blue, orange, yellow, pink or white.
Just wondering of anybody has one or has a good pic of one so I can replicate it. I can make out some of the writing in this one.
Cheers
Ian
