A Brabham BT-23 race car next door...

My next door neighbor in the early 1970's was Randy Hancock, a full time auto mechanic and part time race driver.  He drove a VW microbus, had hippie friends, and a really hot girlfriend.  I remember hearing alot of CCR, America, and Neil Young music coming over the fence, along with some funny smelling smoke.

Randy had this 1967 Brabham BT-23 in his garage up until about 1975 or so.

I have no idea what happened to it, but to me as a five year old kid, this car was the coolest thing in the universe.  I lost touch with Randy in the late 70's, but not before he gave me the picture below of his car in the driveway on Wekiva Ave in Campbell, CA.

Randy, if you're out there, drop me an email!
