Chris Townsend should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Further to David's point about Greenfield buying both pre 1978 season
Greenfield advertises two Tuis in Formula at the end of the 1978 season.
Appears at Long Beach with one of these cars.
BUT. Greenfield also appears with a Tui at the second IMSA Atlantic round
in 1976 [Laguna Seca]. Does this mean he acquired one of the 1975 cars
at that point [BH2/2?] and then went back for another one in late 1977? Or
was this a one off drive in a McCall car?
We still have much to learn about the Players' series of 1976 where there
were sometimes huge entries and people we've never heard of before were
running in qualifiers. It may be that Greenfield ran more pro races in 76 with
a Tui but the detail of that is currently below the radar.

Also, there are two Atlantic Tuis in existence from 1973 British GP. Murdoch appears
in his regular "BH2" which is often described in the press, from its first Atlantic appearance in late summer 72 as the ex John Watson car. Alongside him is "BH3"
as it is described, driven by one Tom Walkinshaw and described in press as 'brand new'. However, the next time the cars appear together is 1975 when McCall fields
Nicholson and Lunger in the Canadian series.
