Allen Heath

[FABIO96 9]

Ciao a tutti. Ho visto questo nome: Allen Heath nell'elenco iscritti al campionato di f1 1953

So solo che:

- ? canadese

- ha corso con una Ewing modello D del team Commercial Motor Freight motorizzata Offenhauser

- ho trovato delle immagini ma non sono sicuro sia davvero lui, e comunque sono del 1947, quindi non della f1

- in ogni caso nessun dato biografico.... :boh: :boh:

ecco altre news:

Allen Heath's career spanned both the AAA and USAC eras. The veteran from Northridge, California was a AAA standout until an accident at Schererville, Indiana in 1953 resulted in the loss of a hand.

 

Continuing his career with the aid of a hook, he became one of the most flamboyant drivers of the time and was a regular in west coast USAC events in the mid-1960s, finishing in the top 20 in the National standings in 1963, 1964 and 1965 without leaving the coast.

 

After losing his hand, he was fitted with a first of its kind prosthesis and spent many hours working with the doctors in testing it. He also worked with veterans and other amputees and was a fine example to them.

 

Heath won the Pacific Coast Championship in 1961. He was the URA Champion in 1950 and 1958 and won the Washington State Title in 1946 and 1947. In 1958 he won a 500-mile midget race held on the road course at Riverside, California.

 

He suffered a fatal heart attack.
