I forgot to answer your question about when the photos were taken:  somewhere between 1964 & 1966

Hi Stephen

These were taken by me at Daytona International Speedway, Florida.  I can't remember if they were taken at the same event, or two events.  At least some of them, if not all were taken at the SCCA Nationals.  I was about 16 or 17 at the time, living just 2 hours away in Tampa, Florida.

Interestingly enough, if you are familiar with Daytona Speedway, the races began with a standing start in the pits, AND running in the opposite to the normal direction of races at Daytona.

I believe the Porsche 904 was driven at the time by then Lieutenant Peter Gregg, while he was still in the US Navy as an intelligence officer.  #95 instead of the later #59.

PS. Thank you for your kind comments.
