GTA's at North American Regional Events

[kengta]

Here is a picture, captioned on the web site, as Ed Wachs on GTA #6 (possibly/Probably Kwech, see post below) and some results from Wilmont Hills Wisconsin, Regional Races, August 1967. Alfa GTA's 1, 2 & 3 driven by Kwech, Wachs, Marino (probably Martino) taken from wilmothills.

The Wilmot Hills site has links to some other old (ghost) race course Info.

I think the photo shows not Ed Wachs but Horst Kwech in his 1967 tri-colori car, you can see his Australian kangaroo on the door and on his helmet. I am not sure but I think also that Ed Wachs acquired an ex Kwech/Winkler Ausca GTA

Ed Wachs, shows up at many TA races and regionals over the years in RHD and LHD GTA's and in different Livery and numbers. I don't know of any Chassis Numbers being attributed to his racers. Did Ed Wachs own GTAs or did he rent rides or both?

Regards

By now I saw no pic that shows Ed Wachs in another car than his red RHD GTA. On photos of Wachs racing at 1968 St. Louis/19680707 Meadowdale/19681006 Kent/19710717 Elkart Lake/19720506 Lime Rock/19720730 Sanair/19721015 Laguna/19721028 Riverside, it seems to be always the same red car with the dark stripe, later with a yellow painted left side

19691005 at Riverside was the same car, but Wachs is not mentioned in the result list

19690803 Mont Tremblant show a green car with race no. 68, and your #752507 with no. 25, but Wachs is the only Alfa driver listed in the results as a DNF

And a photo, possibly from 19700719 Elkart Lake, show a red RHD GTA in different livery with race no. 1, of which the driver is unknown to me. Wachs is in the result list, but without race#

I have seen no photo of Wachs in a LHD car yet

Martin,

Here's a pic of Ed Wachs on RHD #8 at Mid-Ohio July 1967, Scanned from the November 23, 1968 issue of COMPETION PRESS & AUTOWEEK Vol.18, No.45, p.8. You may not have seen this one as you don't list Mid-Ohio in your previous post.

Ciao
