The 1968 SCCA race at Bryar (Loudon New Hampshire) photos have made it onto the internet, if you have photos of vintage racing (SCCA or NHRA) get them scanned and uploaded, share them!

The guys in the Boss Mustangs forum were cool and pointed out the cars above the track curve in the above photo... gt500 Shelby Stang, Porsche, Olds, Falcon, mini, Delivery Van, Plymouth full size, Corvette, 55 Chev, real AC Cobra (no copies back then!) and a Cortina I think... but go down a couple photos and look in the upper right hand corner to see what wasn't captured in the view of the above image... a real GT 40

These Cougars are both owned by Peter Revson, and in 1966 he was racing a GT40 for Essex Wire Co's team with Skip Scott where he helped win the world title for GTcars. Consecutively with the Cougars he was driving a Lola for Dana in Can Am, and a McLaren in USRRC

How about that GT40? Effin cool that someone drove that to watch the races. Serious cool sports cars on the other side of that fence, no one drives cars that cool to watch races anymore. Who can afford the insurance? A Gt500 Shelby Stang, 911 I think, possibly a 427 65 Vette, Shelby 289 Cobra I bet, and a GT40... wow.

Very interesting that I've never seen the inside of one of these cars when it was racing in the 60's

found on http://www.camaros.org/forum/index.php?PHPSESSID=k0rdem8317u8nl330ji7usq3a7&topic=8309.15 and Ron Lathrop, and http://saacforum.com/index.php?topic=14660.75

I learned about this from http://blog.hemmings.com/index.php/2013/03/09/four-links-counter-continentals-beverly-hills-kenworth-mckinley-thompson-toyota-timeline/ Dan's Saturday 4 links. Hemmings is lucky to have Dan keeping on top of so many cool things on the web

the 1957 Cuban Gran Prix was photographed and just got a full write up and gallery

these are most, or all, of the photos, and the full write up is at http://www.velocetoday.com/the-cuban-grand-prix-1957-part-2-of-3/#more-45991 to get part one, you'll have to subscribe to their website. I'm not going to do that.

Toyota / Yamaha 2000Gt of 1967- 68

 

CSX 4205, Hasn't been driven. So it's not a car, it's either a work of art, an investment, or something people have to keep dusting til it re-sells

So here you have a car with only 6 miles on it, test miles, as it came from the Shelby company with those miles, and left the 1st owner without any more, so that is how much it has been driven since made. It hasn't. Probably hasn't had fluids in it since being pushed into storage.

I think that this is another error in the writing on the Martin call sheets (they don't spell Brembo brakes correctly for example) where the above says this was built in 1965. It was built as the new run of cars, not in 1965, but closer to the date on the lower sheet of 2002. They cost 140 thou new, and probably aren't going for a lot more now that Carroll has passed on. He didn't build them, he promoted and signed them... for anyone this annoys, tell me how many 80 year old heart transplant mulitmillionaires are wrenching on cars when they employ people to do that.

Yellow Bullet.com has a thread going about cars found in barns, fields, garages and backyards...

Just a reminder that critters and snakes all love the secret hiding spots in cars, and I've seen a couple photos of mean snakes that are hanging out under the hood waiting for you to pop it open.
