Jack Sears, who passed away on 7 August, may appear to have had little connection with Formula One. But apart from being an outstanding driver and heavily involved with Silverstone and the British Racing Drivers Club, the tall, urbane Englishman left a lasting impression on anyone attending the 1964 British Grand Prix at Brands Hatch.A former British Saloon Car Champion in cars ranging from a humble Austin Westminster to a monstrous 7-litre Ford Galaxie, Sears could turn his hand to anything. He will be remembered for testing an AC Cobra Coupé for the 1964 Le Mans 24 Hours by clocking 185 mph at an early hour on the M1 motorway. The maximum speed limit may not yet have been introduced but the story made headlines in the national newspapers.Sears was at the wheel of a 4.7-litre Cobra 289 for the Ilford Films Trophy for Grand Touring Cars, a support race on the morning of the Grand Prix. The similar Cobra of Bob Olthoff should have been on the front row but the South African was a non-starter.Having qualified on the second row and assuming the grid would shuffle forward to fill the vacant space, Sears took up position on the outside of the front row alongside Jackie Stewarts Jaguar E-Type and David Pipers Ferrari GTO. There was a heated discussion with a marshal but, when the race started, everyone - Sears included -- assumed the matter had been resolved.The officials had other ideas and held out the black flag. Sears, thinking there was something wrong with his car, dutifully stopped in the pits, only to discover that he had been called in for a dressing down by the Clerk of the Course. The officials felt Sears had, in effect, jumped the start and the pit visit was seen as a form of penalty. Besides, it was thought this might add interest to the race. It did.Absolutely incensed, the normally affable Norfolk farmer - affectionately known as Gentleman Jack -- floored the throttle of his mighty machine, shaking his fist as he went, the Cobra leaving a trail of rubber as he powered towards Paddock Hill Bend. In case officials were in any doubt about Sears opinion of their judgement, he shook his fist again at the end of the next lap.Now began an extraordinary demonstration of barely controlled fury. It is probably fair to say that neither before nor since has an AC Cobra been hurled round the Brands Grand Prix circuit with such spine-tingling vigour. Those who witnessed it still talk about the sight of that bellowing V8 as Sears, headlights blazing in symphony with the mood of the driver, began to storm through the field.The drama was not confined to the track. A fracas ensued in the pits as John Willment, the entrant of the Cobra and a man of muscular disposition, grabbed the Clerk of the Course by the collar and shoved him into a flowerbed.Sears, meanwhile, was proving to be an equally irresistible force as the red car with white stripes thundered its way around the track. Nothing would stop him on this day, not even Stewarts leading E-Type. The entire place was on its feet as Sears, cheered to the echo, won by 4.2 seconds.After such an epic performance, the Grand Prix for 1.5-litre cars was bound to seem rather tame.

PHILADELPHIA -- Aaron Altherr is glad to be healthy and back helping the Phillies.Altherr had a homer and five RBI, Maikel Franco homered and went 4 for 4 and Philadelphia used a five-run eighth inning to beat the San Francisco Giants 13-8 in a wild game Tuesday night.Altherr broke a tie with a two-run single in the eighth, Cameron Rupp hit a three-run homer and Cesar Hernandez added four hits for the Phillies. They blew a six-run lead before rebounding to hand the NL West-leading Giants their 12th loss in 16 games since the All-Star break.Whatever I can do to help the team win, thats what Im all about, Altherr said. Im just glad I was able to come through there and help the team win.After sitting out the first half of the season with a wrist injury, Altherr homered in his first game last Thursday but had been hitless in his last nine at-bats before homering in the first inning Tuesday. He is 6 for 18 with two homers and eight RBI since his return.Altherrs making a good impression again, manager Pete Mackanin said.Philadelphia, which entered 29th in the majors in runs, set a season high. The Phillies 15 hits were two shy of matching a season high.It was good to see all the fireworks tonight off the bats, Mackanin said.Angel Pagan, Brandon Crawford and Brandon Belt went deep for San Francisco, which opened Tuesday leading the Dodgers by two games in the division. The Giants began this nine-game trip hoping to rebound from their worst month of the season after going 10-13 in July.Will Smith (1-4), who was acquired from Milwaukee on Monday to bolster San Franciscos bullpen, started the eighth with a strikeout before giving up an infield single to pinch-hitter Odubel Herrera and a double off the wall in right to Hernandez. Smith was lifted for Sergio Romo, who surrendered the go-ahead single up the middle to Altherr.Thats not how I wanted the first one to go, Smith said. Hopefully I can get in there tomorrow and do my job.Rupp blew the game open two batters later with his 11th homer of the season.Hector Neris (4-3) pitched a scoreless eighth to earn the victory.The Phillies jumped all Giants ace Madison Bumgarner, taking a 6-0 lead through two innings. After Altherrs two-run homer in the first, Philadelphia tallied four two-out runs in the second after third baseman Eduardo Nunez made an error.ddddddddddddAltherr made it 3-0 with an RBI single before Francos three-run homer put the Phillies up six runs.The Giants battled back against Zach Eflin, getting a run in the fourth on Crawfords 10th homer of the season before a five-run fifth tied the game at six.San Francisco scored all five runs with two outs. Crawford hit a two-run single and Belt tied the game with a three-run shot.Eflin left after five innings, having allowed six runs on six hits with four strikeouts and three walks.ALTHERR FOR EXTRASOf Altherrs 39 career hits, 22 of them have gone for extra bases. He has 11 doubles, four triples and seven homers.BUMMED OUTBumgarner had one of his worst outings of the season, but the four-time All-Star didnt factor into the decision. Bumgarner allowed eight runs -- four earned -- on 10 hits in five-plus innings while striking out four and walking two.FAN VS UMPIREAn unruly fan was escorted from his seat in the sixth inning shortly after a verbal confrontation with an umpire.Plate ump Bob Davidson stopped the game, walked toward where the fan was sitting and had words with him after the man was yelling loudly in Davidsons direction. The fan was sitting 15 rows from the field behind the visitors dugout.Davidson said the fan heckled him for two straight batters, but he halted the game with the next hitter up when Davidson felt the fan made a sexual reference and used foul language.You could have your wife, girlfriend, kids; they buy tickets, Davidson told a pool reporter. They dont have to come here and listen to that.Shortly after the spat, a Phillies usher approached the fan, who quieted down. A short time later, another Phillies employee approached the man and escorted him out of his seat.A Phillies spokesperson said during the game that Davidson complained to team security about the fans language and, when approached, the fan agreed to leave on his own.UP NEXTGiants RHP Johnny Cueto (13-3, 2.63) opposes Phillies RHP Aaron Nola (6-9, 4.78) in the second game of a three-game set on Wednesday night.
