Remembering Lance Reventlow

I have included a few remembrances about Lance in some previous Vintage Racecar columns, but because he was such a fascinating character, I thought a column explicitly about him would be appropriate in order to wrap up the theme.

I wrote what was hopefully an amusing story about a party at Lance’s home in the September 2005 edition. Then I wrote about him in Chuck Daigh’s obituary in the July 2008 edition and recently about Lance’s Scarabs in the September 2008 edition. If you missed any of these, you might want to log on to www.sportscardigest.com for copies of those issues. Most who remember Lance associate him with Scarab cars, but before that, he drove as an amateur in Southern California events.
