The Evolution of a K Code racecar

I thought everyone would like to see how my car has evolved over the past 40 years from ralley racing to Trans Am

Car was painted red after it went on its roof in whats now turn 1 Watkins Glen. Lost the Al Maroone sponsor and Glenwood Acres became the new sponsor.

Yes I passed the GT-40 !!!

Here we are at New Jersey Motorsports Park starting the SCCA Pro Trans Am event some 40 years later !!!

The evolution continues back to 1968 ! We just repainted the front and rear valance cutting out the lisence plate area to match the above Photo's taken at Watkins Glen 68'

Next up is to alter the rear trunk lid for the fuel filler cap. I have the leMans filler that was on the car mounted to the trunk lid to feed the stock gas tank.

The new company is a GTO that is being verified that it is a Judge ! Brakes were bad. Guy sends a tow truck. Driven to the tow truck and accidentally run into a wall !!!! Ouch.

Good stuff...I'd like to check out the action in NJ. Last time I was there was for SAAC 33.

Well I am back from New Jersey Motorsports Park and am happy to report we had two mustangs on the podium for both races ! I picked up 2nd place overall 1st in class on Saturday and John Desantis in a 65 K code picked up third overall . Sunday didn't go as well for me although I qualified 3rd again the ignition switch broke on grid and I was a DNS. Joe Volpe in a 65 mustang picked up the win and John got third again !

Yes the 73 Porsche did win but the next race is my home track at Lime Rock. I will try my best to keep that from happening again !
