There are a lot of people here who have pictures of Alfa's racing in the Trans Am series. Let's post all the pictures we can find here on this thread. Here are just a few of what I have. I need to scan more.

1972 Race Report Bryar TA from CP&A

1972 Race Report Bryar TA from CP&A June 17, 1972.

The picture of #25 and #26 is the only one I know to date of these 2 GTAs together in this BOBCOR livery.

Rogers crashed the #26 GTA in this race and Bob Cozza told me that it was parted out after the race.

Second picture shows them together in 1971 Livery when #26 was with Gaston Andrey at Mid Ohio.

Third Picture (see next post) shows them together in 1970 Livery at Mont Tremblant when #4 (#26 in 71 &72) was with Harry Theodoracoupolis in Orange Wetson Livery and #25 was red and white.

#25 was under Bert Everett in all three pictures.

Ciao

and Happy New Year

Chuck Cunningham collection

Hello All,

These are a few pictures from the Chuck Cunningham collection circa 1965 to 1967. For those of you unfamiliar with Chuck, he was the owner of Bates Cunningham Volvo and an avid race enthusiast. During the 1960's sedan races he drove primarily Volvo 122s'.

Enjoy.

Hi CD, Thanks for posting these.

If you have the originals is it possible to get the race # off the the Alfa in the last picture of the 1966 race. Pic has red Volvo 122 leading red Alfa GTA trailing. Also any Alfa numbers from the race start/ lineup.

It also looks like the rear of the white #82 Harry T GTA to the left of the #55 Porsche, in the one 67 Lime Rock pic. I attach the entry list for this event. Winkler crashed #62 Tri Colour in practice and Dorman and Ingleheart were DNS according to the SCCA result.

Thanks

Ken

More: 1972 Road Atlanta Trans Am Report from CP&A

Here are better versions of the Grid and the Result and the BOBCOR Ad that was published with the article. #6 Ed Wachs, gridded 6th was a DNS due to engine failure.

I think the forward crew member, hanging off #25 in the BOBCOR ad, is Richard Stephens and the rearward crew is _________ ??. (Oskar Feldman , Paul Glyn??) Anyone recognize these winners.

Ad picture must be from Sanair, the race just previous to Road Altanta.

and More: 1971 Laguna Seca TA Pictures from CP&A. Note that the CP&A result shows Bert Everett on Wetson Alfa Romeo GTV (#2), DNF after 4 laps with suspension failure. Bert Everett was ommitted from the SCCA result for some reason even though he pictured and reported running that race.

Here is a link to John Wilson's gallery. He was a photographer here in Southern California in the 60's and 70's. In this gallery you will find many Trans Am pictures from both Riverside and Laguna Seca as well as pictures from other races including the 1966 SCCA Championship races at Riverside showing the famous battle between the Ford Cortina and GTA of Horst Kwech (now owned by CanAmBob).

If you would like to buy some images, you can contact him directly. The first 8x10 or 11x14 with 9x12 image size is $59 after 1st 8x10s are $29. 11x14s are $39. A lot of time is invested in and restoring all images. All spots and scanning scratches are removed from final prints.

1971 Laguna Seca results.

I have edited Post 809 above to add the 1971 Laguna Seca TA results from CP&A Nov6, 1971. Bert Everett on the #2 Wetson GTV was omitted from the SCCA result. See pic 2 and pic 3 is a press release appended to my copy of the SCCA results. These last 2 are usually missing from other posted and published records and in any case it omits Everett.

Regards

Ken

Not sure, how my typing in "john morton against all odds" was any different this time than the last 20 times i did a similar search...either way this it is a quality version. Thank you YouTube!

Enjoy the movie, it is a Great one!
