Steve Knolls
Group 44 has great new photos from the 1996 Marlboro Trans-Am.
Steve has two great shots of the Winkler/Van der Vate GTA now owned by Scott Gray. This is the first GTA imported to America and the winner of the "refrigerator bowl" in January of 1966 at the same Marlboro track.
Here is the link which has lots more photos

Hey Bob, Thanks for posting this link. Some new to me pics of 752507 #32 Richards/Alderman. As well as Pics of GTAs #27, #31 and #37
I note a caption error beside the Harry T Photo which includes Richards on #37 with Harry and Posey' when I think it is well understood that Richards was on #32 with Alderman. I guess this caption is based on a note from Mac Tilton I found in a related link. See below. I sent a question off to George Alderman re this.

Mac Tilton on "The Great Race" in 1966
Many of you will know that Mac Tilton, founder of Tilton Engineering, was Tony "a2z's" Crew Chief in his 1968 Trans Am Championship season
Tony forwarded this e-mail to me from Mac
"The 1966 trans Am from the 12 hours of Marlboro brought back many memories. This was the race that the GTA I built for Harry the Greek and codriven by Sam Posey and Paul Richards won the under 2ltr. class an hour after the finish. Sir John Whitmore was given the victory and received all the publicity but when the laps were counted we won by a lap. Sams half brother was our score keeper and went on to do many major races before computers took over. Wish I have some photos from that race. We received very little notice because the Cortina's we (sic) supposed to win from the start"

Also note a RHD GTA #31 with Texas Plates. Wonder if this is Del Taylor/Bob Pratt as they used #31 at VIR or is it another team?
Thanks and Regards
Ken
