Interesting site, Thanks for posting! I have been a Public Relations Manager, then an Agent, then a Business Partner for the lifelong Serial/Movie/TV actor- John Hart. John's most famous roles were that of the 1952 TV series "Lone Ranger" & as Hawkeye in "Hawkeye & the Last of the Mohicans" with Lon Chaney Jr as Chingachook. John is now 91 Years young & enjoying sand & suds on the Baja peninsula. John has big ties to the history of our sport. He & his friend Bill Pollack laid out the Willow Springs course back in the early Fifties. Yes, The Lone Ranger staked out Willow Springs Raceway with an old pick-up & laid the course out with wooden stakes! John raced at Chino & at Ralleys all over world. All the early pioneer West Coast racing names know him. John raced several cars (including cobras) but his love was a 1954 TF series MG. Here is a couple interesting links about John: http://members.tripod.com/~JohnHart/recordjh.html & http://members.tripod.com/~JohnHart/index.html
I'm sure many of you members will remember him in a role or two as he played a zillion parts over his Hollywood Career. Anyway, Thanks for the post!
Regards,
