July/August 2016 7 A Driver School Unlike Any Before by Kevin Crain photos by Dave Green Flag to Flag Photography So we’re in Sebring in Right out of the box Saturday we’re up and running July... another Driver with Vintage qualifying. Norman Fucini brought the School.

I showed up to PDX session and then the Vintage group was back for the track thinking there might be 20 or so cars/drivers their first race for which the green flag was dropped for the weekend - nothing to get too excited over. at a little after 9:30 a.m. Well, our Race Board Chairman, Dana Deshong Fucini and Hazleton would finish as they started, 1-2, decided to mix things up and incorporate a TES completing 16 laps in the allotted 20 minute session.

Oh, and some PDX Hazleton. sessions mixed in both days! This brought out many more cars and a lot of new faces for some fun in the sun! Personally, I really liked this format because from a worker’s standpoint, past driver’s schools are pretty boring because of all the downtime, unless you count “station wagon” tours, and “downtime” spent baking in Sebring in July isn’t exactly top of my list of things I enjoy. This event kept something happening on track almost nonstop, which keeps us workers photo by Kevin Crain focused and helps the time go by more quickly not Beau Gabel in the Vintage #38 Lotus Super 7 approaching Turn 6. thinking about, “how high do you think the “feels Following the Vintage race we had the second PDX like” temperature will get today?” session. The PDX group has a couple of different “classes.” They have “solo” qualified driver’s who’ve been in the program awhile and have demonstrated the skill set and discipline to run without an instructor and they also run a “novice” group where a new driver has an in-car instructor to assist with not only how to address say entering the hotel hairpin but also what all those colored flags mean and what to do when they’re on display... Saturday’s group was the novice group which actually blended in nicely with the Traditional Learning Path (TLP) student drivers who had an hour of track time along side the Bracket Enduro drivers’ Ken Hazleton taking the Glass Toy Racing Vintage Vette through Turn 6.

July/August 2016 11 Remember When... Pictures Submitted by Louis Galanos [email protected] In the middle of 1967 the FIA passed a rule severely limiting engine size in prototypes. This literally put the big 7-liter Ford GT40's out of commission along with Chaparral and the big engine Ferraris. Like it will later do in developing the Porsche 917K, Porsche took advantage of changes made by the FIA by fielding five Porsche 907's designed specifically for the Daytona 24 and accomplished a 1-2-3 finish or clean sweep of the podium. Factory Porsche would try a repeat in 1969 but failed miserably succumbing to faulty engine parts.

A Gulf Ford GT40 driven by David Hobbs and Paul Hawkins leads a factory Porsche 907 driven by Jo Siffert and Hans Herrmann at the 1968 Daytona 24. Following them is the Ferrari 250 LM of John Gunn, Guillermo Ortega and Fausto Merello. The GT40 failed to finish due to a leaking fuel tank. The Porsche finished second. In fact, Porsche finished 1- 2-3 in 1968. The Ferrari finished 8th overall and first in class.

Mario Casoni, Giampiero Biscaldi and Teodoro Zeccoli in their factory Alfa Romeo T33/2 finished seventh at Daytona in '68. The T33/2 or Mk II or Series 2 was a new 2-liter car with substantially different bodywork and available in both short and long tail configuration. Following the Alfa through turn three is the MG B of James Rushin, Thomas D. Harris and Chris Waldron. The car blew a clutch and was a DNF.

The winning Porsche 907 LH of Vic Elford and Jochen Neerpasch. This car and two other factory 907's finished 1-2-3 at Daytona in 1968. The 907's were equipped with flat 8's with 2195 cc's. For 1969 factory Porsche entered 908's with 3-liter engines and by 1970 the 917 Porsches were up to 4.5 liters. This arm's race ended at the end of 1971 when the FIA mandated a 3-liter maximum for the 1972 racing season.

Coming into this mess was the factory Porsche 907 LH of Gerhard Mitter and it spun out of control, flipped and skidded 250 more yards throwing a tire. Then the Ferrari 250 LM of Masten Gregory hit the loose tire and went end- over-end three times. Dieter Spoerry in a private entry Porsche 907 LH tried to avoid the wreckage and hit the retaining wall causing major damage. All three cars had to retire.

Tony Adamowicz, Paul Richards and Marvin Davidson drove this Porsche 911T at the '68 race. It failed to finish due to an accident. Tony, known to many as Tony a2z, is currently battling stage 4 brain cancer. Hope he wins this one.

July/August 2016 13 The Daytona Double - SARRC/Florida Cup by Kevin Crain

Back in Daytona for the first time in exactly three weekend was no exception with just under 300 cars months... a three-day event when you factor in the participating. This meant big groups and surprise, CFR conducted Test Day and Performance Driving surprise - the Spec Miata group wasn’t the largest! Experience (PDX) sessions on Friday. This weekend Friday’s test day was mixed in with the PDX group was a double points event for the SARRC series and which I believe were the “advanced” drivers - those also one of the events for the inaugural Florida Cup who’ve been partaking and have shown the ability series. Yes, it was hot. In fact there were car-b-que’s and good sense to handle the unique challenges and a couple of grass fires over the weekend. Daytona International Speedway presents. Not too Florida’s east coast hadn’t experienced much rainfall much excitement except for maybe south Florida so things were a bit crispy. Region’s Richard Smith in the #43 GT3 Mazda RX7 Racing in Daytona is always exciting as the venue who was the first to hold a car-b-que in Speedway 2 tends to consistently draw plenty of drivers, and this giving the Daytona Fire guys some practice. Nothing

14 July/August 2016 Group 2 saw 68 cars run qualifying Saturday morning, the largest group of the weekend. 66 cars took the green flag Saturday afternoon and 54 of them would take the green flag Sunday morning for the Feature race... there were a couple of minor incidents in Saturday’s Sprint race which thinned the field down some. Group 3 was the open-wheelers which had a sizeable

This group had the only other drivers to too serious as he was back at it on Saturday. break a 2 minute lap time with Sherry Dowling Saturday morning started off at 8 am sharp with the posting a 1:59.555 during qualifying to earn the group group 1 qualifying, which this weekend was the GT pole and Joel Haas would post a 1:59.322 best lap in group. Personally, I anticipate this weekend as we the 35 minute Feature race on Sunday morning on his get to hopefully see the Ford Falcon of Bill Riddell way to the overall and FB win in the #93 Piper DF5. and I was not disappointed. During qualifying, Sunday’s race was fraught with issues and despite the Riddell would post the fastest lap of the weekend of 35 minute time frame, just 11 laps were completed. 1:52.644 or 113.77 MPH over the 3.56 mile course. Jim Interestingly, the field was gathered behind the Irvin in the #37 Weaver Corvette ran the second safety car due to one of those issues when the fastest lap of the weekend in the Feature race on decision was made to checker the session and bring Sunday of 1:54.874, over 2 seconds slower than the field down pit road. The only problem was that Riddell. Riddell would take a pair of GT1 wins and the all but two of the drivers, whose decision to follow overall win in the 25 minute Sprint Race on Saturday the safety car onto pit road was made at the last afternoon in a field of 20. Irvin’s Corvette was fast, second, decided to stay out for the anticipated but he completed just 3 laps in the Sprint on Saturday restart... this session kept the Stewards very busy. and 7 laps in the Feature on Sunday. There has been some debate regarding the visibility/placement of those pesky flashing lights contributing to the leaders failing to follow the safety car onto the pits, but when the leaders stayed out, so did most of those following. The Spec Racer Fords filled Group 4 and 24 raced on Saturday with 20 returning for the green flag on Sunday. A trio of Gen3 cars led the field in both races and less than 2 seconds separated the three. Todd Vanacore would win big in Saturday’s Sprint by 1.665 seconds over Jean-Luc Liverato who held off Mick Robinson .166 seconds for second. Sunday’s feature had the same three up front but it was Liverato who edged out Vanacore by a half second with Robinson again taking third. The SRF class saw Bill Ladoniczki take the win over John Annis by a mere .045 seconds in the Sprint. Ladoniczki would not report for the Feature on Sunday. Mark Eaton fixed whatever issues kept him to just 3 laps completed in the Sprint to come back on Sunday and take the SRF win

Patrick Edgerton would improve from his third place STU finish Saturday to win the Feature on Sunday and take the overall group win. Group 6 was the Production class and was the smallest of the fields for the weekend with 17 cars qualifying in 5 classes. Hometown driver Darryl Pritchett in the #92 BMW Z3 earned the pole and took a pair of group wins as well as the EP class wins. Group 7 was the Spec Miata group with a pair of MX5s mixed in totalling 51 in all. This group ran both its races on Sunday with the Sprint to start things off and the Feature to end the weekend.
