Chris Townsend should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
I think that the Phillips car was the ex Nick Adams/Carlos Ulibarri car 80A-18, but haven't got round to checking 1982 Atlantic reports yet.

Dan, I'm interested in your attribution of the Friswell '742' as the basis for Orgee's variously updated car. What's the evidence. I have Orgee in a 722 in the 1979 series and Libre races but did he buy something marginally newer!!

Incidentally the Friswell 742 [I take it you mean the car he uses in 1976 G8 races] is actually two cars. He starts with his 73B retitled. Bends that and sells it to Andy Barton, and replaces it with what seems to have been March 732-1, raced early in 1976 by John Calvert.
[When Calvert races it the car is described as the one driven by Beltoise at 1973 Mallory F2, where he famously showered the timekeepers with bits of exploding BMW; Friswell is said to get it from Calvert in MN] Friswell had a big accident in it under my nose at Oulton at the end of 76 and I don't know where it goes from there.
