Of course I'm following this - it's fascinating. I'm a bit thin on US sources for 1974 as my Formula Collection starts with Feb 1975. However, in that copy (p14) I found:
"Joe Grimaldi imported several March 74Bs with Bobby Brown, Bruce Jensen, Gilles Villeneuve and Gary Maywood being the best known customers."
On p18 I also spotted Bruce Jensen and Reg Scullion in an Atlantic race at Watkins Glen in 742s, Fred Philips in James King's 73B and Roos in Grimaldi's 732. I think this race supported the US GP. And on p8: "Tom Sauerbrei ... will be in the ex Depailler March 742" in Atlantic in 1975. That might help plug a gap later.
In the Mar 75 edition they are on to talking about 1975 but do mention that Dave Morris (Edmonton) wrecked a 74B at Mosport in '74. Jensen and David Loring are pictured racing 74Bs at Sanair.
Is this all useful??
I presume you means that Brown's car was number 9, seeing as it actually mentions him by name!!
