The Roaring Season

Here is the race result for Group 5A, 1963 - 1966 GT Cars over 2,500cc, which is what Bowe ran the Corvette in. REALLY impressive line-up! http://www.mazdaraceway.com/sites/main/files/file-attachments/grp_5a_sat_rolex_race.pdf

Great info,thanks Steve-imagine running a genuine Grand-Sport in open competition!All credit to the owner but JB did very well up against some formidable opposition.

Pete.

Yes, I guess running a Grand Sport is the GM equivalent to running a Daytona Cobra Coupe. Insanely expensive, but if you can afford to buy one, you can afford to fix one should something happen. Its great to see them out there.

Sorry, no Monterey pics, the "Laguna Limelighter" spent too much time rubbing shoulders with the Trans Am group in the pits, LOL.

This year was way smaller than last year, still a fantastic event and certainly world premier when it comes to historic cars!! caught up with a few mates and good friend John Watkins won his main race in the "spectre" IMSA Boss Mustang so he was pretty happy, a good time alround and lots of interest from individuals about coming racing in NZ.

Too friggen HOT, 36 today so its back home Tuesday

The driver of the UOP Shadow (pic 4 #26) even has a Tom Pryce replica helmet! That is taking the period correctness to an extreme, perhaps creepy level.

Some lovely machinery and rare as well.

Or 'Large Tablet'

I've always loved the Delage - in black, just like Richard Seaman.

Also, is that a Repco decal on the side of the Lotus 23?

Yes, tend to agree with that. Perhaps the ultimate tribute.

Didn't get many from the weekend, too busy yakking!!

Heres a couple of Aussie lads taking pics

That Camaro with the stars and stripes paint scheme was making its Historic Trans-Am race debut, after having undergone a big restoration. It was originally owned by John Greenwood and Dick Hoffman, and driven by Hoffman in two Trans-Am events in 1971. Greenwood was just getting started painting up his Corvette racers in the stars and stripes livery that they would carry for the next few years, hence the Camaro was also given the same paint scheme. Very cool!
