    Hello there,
    Working on collecting information on my Grandfather. John Bandimere Sr.

    Two main projects are Pikes Peak racing 1937 - 1970 and Supercharging jobs he did

    I saw quite a bit on here about Tommy Thompson's 990. My grandfather did the engine for in it 53 and 59 for sure and maybe other years. Looking for photos of those engines. We have the Bonneville trophy from 1959.

    I am missing photos at pikes peak in 1937, 1955 and 1962 The 62 car also raced at Bonneville but I don't have Any Pikes Peak photos.

    Good luck with your project, David. I have been going to Bandimere since only 1978.
    You have a great family. Sad to see that homes are encroaching right across the highway.
    Shades of Lions Dragstrip. Best wishes, Bob
