 "An event that could have brought more gloom transpired during practice on Saturday, when Marifred (Mrs. Richard) McGuire of Fort Worth dumped her tiny Berkeley upside down and skidded forty yards in this manner along the pavement. The plucky platinum blonde got out of the affair with but slight contusions and bruises, for which everyone was grateful." - SCCA magazine, Golden Days at Galveston, November 1958. When she wasn't racing her Berkeley, Mrs. McGuire cheered for Dr. Dick McGuire who raced a Porsche, or she wrote articles for the SCCA Texas Region's Roundup newsletter.

 "First of the main races was the DePalma Trophy event, held on the 1.63-mile course. Henry Grady led from first to last in the whistling Begra, followed by Don Kearney's Donscar and Art Latta's Turner. Jack Wright beat all the Sprites in a well-prepared SAAB. To confound the frog-eyed beasties further was the Berkeley 500 of Kleinpeter, which defeated five of them to gain 7th overall" - October 1960 SCCA Sports Car Magazine article "Drama at Daytona"

 "he cross-country driving got off the ground (literally) early in this race when Larry (Lawrence) Sams left the chicane and landed his airborne Berkeley in the ant hills." - June 1961 SCCA magazine article describing the HP and IPM race of The Governor's Cup Races
