Hi Stephen,
Great site; looking forward to participating more. The answer tp your question about the Lancia photos form Watkins Glen 1980 is that I took them myself. I shot for Associated Press at the Glen from 1974-1981; F1, 6-Hours, &c. I have lots more, but most have not been scanned.
Regards, Ed

Looks like a nice site. Sorry the picture I submitted got the heads of the people cut off. They are ANDY PORTERFIELD, JOE FREITAS and JIM JEFFORDS, all famous Corvette drivers.

ANDY at 79 years is still racing active SCCA today. Over 2500 race starts and 400 plus wins. FREITAS was best friends with Dave MacDonald and bought and raced DAVE'S old 57 and 61 Corvettes.

JEFFORDS raced SCCA from 1955 thru 61 and joined NICKEY CHEVROLET and drove the famous PURPLE PEOPLE EATER Corvettes in 1958, and 59 to SCCA National B/P Championships. Also owned the 56 SR-2 Corvette, and raced on the Chevrolet team in 56 and 57 at Sebring and Nassau. In 1960 he raced the CAMORADI Corvette at Sebring and Cuba. Neat people.

Stephen I am away from home and office until the 22nd February with trips in Europe then the USA (VA , Fl & CA ) . Will try to add more info on my return . One piece of additional info for you now is that I am a member of the UK Historic Grand Prix Association and raced with them for around 20 years at most of the European Grand Prix Circuits . During that period I raced Maserati 250F, 4CM & 6CM and 250S, Ferrari 246 Dino Grand Prix & 250 SWB . Best of luck with your site . Robin

Hi Stephen

thanks for the comments on my pics! I am not responsable for the Fotos, I am just the driver... The Sauber Pics are all photografed by fRitZ Frey, the official photografer of the www.orwell-supersportscup.com ! He has aswell taken the photos of the Junior at the Nürburgring!

Regards Chris

PS: The best about the commented Sauber-Pic is, that I stayed in front and we did not touch at all at this manouver, it was about 4th place at the Nürburgring in June 2006

Stephen, Thanks for the welcome. Although I've been doing my thing for 50 some odd years, I'm still a little naive around groups like this, it'll take me a while to figure it out and unfortunately I'm only on dial up. The rest of the world has gone on to dsl, brodband and other neat new forms of high speed internet, except Dolan, IN where I reside. I noticed an Elva group and will get to them when I figure out how. Thanks again.

Thanks for the welcome, Stephen. I look forward to logging on to your site to see what's happening. Although Nashes were used in racing, my car is very much the normal type family car from the thirties. It is presently undergoing a full restoration.

Hi Stephen:

Thanks for the warm welcome. I just discovered your website last night. Was trying to post some pix of my cars but I could called away. I'll try again today.

I'd love to talk to you about your TV ideas. I'll try your cell phone later today. Meanwhile, a better email address to reach me is:

Hi Stephen,

What a wonderful idea. I'm fed up of seeing what my children are doing on FaceBook and needed something more appropriate for my age and interests!!

You wouldn't like Lake Come today; it's grey and trying to snow! On good days it is a very good place, however. Having said that I would swap it for Texas Arizona or California in a heartbeat!!

I'm having a 1974 Laverda SF restored here for the summer so that should be fun.

Look forward very much to chatting.

Best.

Sam

Stephen,I remember the session well,and the Blackstone Merlot. I have decided to sell 5S274 and go on to finishing my 32 Ford roadster and restoring old Mustangs. Built A B/P 65 fastback for my son so he can carry on racing. Good to hear from you and Im glad to see this project you're heading up. Good Luck Don

Yepp, I'll do ASAP, I'm with my laptop at the moment but I have some photos and videos on my other computer. I'll share them when I'm back home.

Great talking to you today Stephen. What we discussed would bring so much to the table as far as exposure, member entertainment, repeat daily traffic and ad revenue. '09 is OUR Year! Best part is that is could both fire up the site AND return dollars at the same time. Keep it in mind that this is not just another drain- but a fountain! Thanks Jim

patrick norton

Hello Stephan, nice to hear from you, I just found the website and looks very interesting. I feel that one of the most important aspects of vintage racing,collecting and showing our cars are the freindships that we make. I won't be able to add video on my site as I am still on a dial up connection and it would take hours to load. I will add additional photos though
Sincerely
Patrick
