Ah, Parnelli Jones, he was a very good racer. I remember when he raced at the now defunct Riverside Raceway, his driving style was described as "he left no turn unstoned" because the pavement edges were just a suggestion and there were not finished runoffs. So he would just go straight through the esses.
I worked for Phil Dermer back in the day who campaigned a BMW 2002. At the same time Peter Brock of Brock Racing Enterprise BRE, really performed well, and the BMW’s were handicapped by the carburetor rules. Had the BMW 2002Tii been legal, or better breathing carburetors been allowed, the results would likely have been more favorable for the BMW.
Well, that was SPECTACULARLY bad coverage of a load of very interesting race cars. Congratulations to everyone involved. Please, don't ever cover a race with drones again.
It's a cool bygone era but like racing today it got un- affordable you can only do a few races on an engine and you got to rebuild it buy new s*** etc.... however a lot of classes in scca are more low budget and entertaining and fun and a regular blue collar dude can go out there and have fun with a great hobby, unfortunately all the race shops get involved in privateer racing and cheat and put the money behind the guys and try to turn them from a backyard amateur to a f- n pro... Complete bulshit... biggie size mentality just like every black kid thinks he's going to be Michael Jordan... Because he's got a little bit of talent on the neighborhood ghetto court😅 ... The IMSA HSR series is way cooler, you get a whole bunch of different types and classes of cars from the past, that is super cool and not like new racing at all.
In-car footage please!! Love these cars!
3 races an engine is crazy
The best era for cars imo, beautiful machines.
Couldn't agree more!
