Steve -
I remember Dick Workman. Only met him once, at the SCCA ARRC Nationals at Road Atlanta in 1974. Went to the run-offs to watch Al French (GT350) and Sam Feinstein (427 Cobra) run after meeting them at SOA Conventions. Workman drove like a madman - guess sometimes that is what it takes to finish on top. He was the highest placing Cobra in the A/B Production race that included Feinstein, Col. Loren Pearson, and Mack Yates.
I recall that the steering wheel center on Workman's Cobra was engraved with a dedication to a friend of his he had lost. The guy was a real hard-charger. According to the SAAC Registry, Workman dissapppeared at sea in the 80's, and is presumed to have drowned.
Here is what their cars looked like at the run-offs in 1974:
Dick Workman's CSX 3137, built up from several wrecked race cars - (note 289 body configuration)
Col. Loren Pearson's CSX3343 - if I recall, he was having engine troubles this week-end
Mack Yate's 289 USSRC competition Cobra roadster - I recall this one flying around the corners, lifting the inside front wheel.
It was a great week-end, even though none of my favorite Cobras or GT350's won.
regards,
Jeff
