Let's show vintage racing pictures. I'll start.

Ok, I have attached a photo by Paul Woodbury.

You can find a couple more on my IMSA photo website

Here are a couple more snaps from my Dad's vault, he just sent me these

In his words:

Some More from the archives....in the early morning mist (@ Lime Rock)... Bob backs 'er down the planks, no fancy tail gate lifts!

Here's to more pics (and less controversy)

Cheers,

Colin

Here indeed!

Keep prodding your father to search that vault... Those are beautiful.

Phillip,

In your post on the first page of this thread there is a series of pictures ending with a shot of the start of a CP race showing several Zs. Can I get a copy of this print? I have the white ex-Leitzinger 280z shown in the last picture and would love to get a copy.

Great to hear you own the Leitzinger 280z, but unfortunately I don't own any of those photos, they're all compliments of Greyghost (aka Steve Gunderson). I beleive most are scans from his collection. You could try PM'ing him. Or anyone with a decent printer and good paper could simply print the digitial file for you, though the files aren't very large, I'm not sure how well they'd turn out.

Let's go back to 1976 for a moment. Elliot Forbes-Robinson would take over driving duties for Bob Sharp who was injured in an accident in 1975. Bob had won the SCCA C-production national championship in '72, '73, and '75 having given it up in '74 to Walt Maas in his 260Z. Bob was campaigning a 280Z in SCCA C-production and a 240Z in IMSA Grand Touring Under 2.5 liter displacement. He was GTU champion in 1975. However eight of the eleven IMSA GTU races in 1976 went to Brad Frisselle and his 240Z. Brad drove to victory with John Morton in the Mid Ohio 6-hour and the Road Atlanta 1000k. Elliot Forbes-Robinson won only at Pocono where he finished a spectacular third overall. Here is a Datsun press release photo of the two cars from 1976. Sorry for the quality. The original documents are really old.

Chris,

Here are a couple more pictures of the Frisselle car from 1976 I thought you might be interested in. That is John Morton in the gold racing suit running over to swap drivers.

Nice pictures, Mike. I notice that the B&Ws are eBay pics. Do you know if / what the car sold for?

Actually they are all pictures from an ebay auction I won, but not for a car. It was an auction for a poster of the Brad Frisselle car at Mid-Ohio. I was just too lazy to scan the photos when I could just post the ad pics. I'm thinking of starting a new Nissan/Datsun poster thread, so I will show the poster there.

The auction also included two original unused Transcendental Racing stickers. You can see parts of the stickers on the car in the photos I posted.

I stumbled across these from various SCCA Nationals at Blackhawk Farms, Grattan, Mid Ohio.

The #81 Gerry Mason, GT2, I can only assume this is the #3 BRE car The #53 is Ellis Meister. The #33 ZX is of course the BSR/Paul Newman, GT1. The #85 ZX is Logan BLackburn

Great photos Philip! this looks to be the ex-Logan Blackburn car, that is the #3 BRE car?...I know that Gerry will be at the Mitty this year perhaps we can ask him then.

Gerry Sr. Did have a 240Z that he built and campaigned, it could be that car also. I am not sure. Great shots all around, I will have to see if I can find my roadster as it raced at blackhawk farms a few times.

From what I understand Logan's was the ex-BRE car. I was unaware Gerry Sr. build another one?? I did not know the Masons will be at Mitty either. What a bummer for me, I can probably make it down there next year with my car, but not this one. Gerry Jr. and the #3 are FAST. He clicked off some laps at Elkhart 10 years ago which still would have him in the top 5 at the same event.

That's cool your car raced at Blackhawk. Yeah, check out the folders in the url, I did see some roadsters in there.

[Ron Carter]

Hi Philip, Sorry to hear that you are going to miss the Mitty. It's going to be special.

Gerry Sr. did campaign a 240Z prior to the blackburn car. I know that Gerry Jr. was/is planning on restoring it. My roadster is Gerry Sr.'s first Datsun racer.

Best,

Ron
