Trans-Am Camaros / Re: YouTube (or other) videos of early Trans-Am racing

Thank you Chad for posting that on Todd's behalf.

Welcome aboard, Todd. It's great to have you sign up for the forum. I look forward to your contributions and would definitely enjoy learning more about your dad and his racing career. Many of the Daytona and Sebring endurance races back in the old days featured Camaros and other pony cars besides the Corvettes, sports cars, Prototypes, etc. I don't mind you posting links to those old races. I'd love to see footage from the ARRC events including the one your dad won at Riverside in 1968. If you have any footage from the '69 ARRC A/Sedan race, I'm sure Scott (S A Dunbar) would appreciate seeing that. In fact any A/Sedan footage (which often ran against A and B Production Corvettes) would be a lot of fun to see. Thanks again for signing up and sharing.

I would certainly enjoy seeing video of the 1969 ARRC A/Sedan race...!   Of course, Bill Petree, driving a 1969 Camaro, won the A/Sedan National Championship in this race.  My father won the 1980 GT1 National Championship driving the very same Camaro.

a side note...  Todd's father, Dick, and my father, Jerry, raced together many times...  In those days, Dick was running a A/Sedan Camaro and my father was racing a Corvette in B Production.  In the very first inaugural "feature" race at Blackhawk Farms Raceway in 1968 - a SCCA Regional Race - Jerry finished 1st overall and 1st in B Production, and Dick finished 2nd overall and 1st in A Sedan...


Here's an article on that race you mention.  Note that both our dads beat the Cobra, and that is what counts.  ;)


I am working on transferring some old films to You Tube.  Nothing huge, as so far I just have some of the Corvette footage.  Still looking to track down the Camaro races of 68 and 69.

Thanks to Ron for posting those fantastic images.  I've never seen the ones of my Dad before --fantastic stuff.

Thanks for posting the video.   If I find any other Trans-Am videos, I will post them.
Appears most of what I have access to are from other series, like this one from 24 Hours at Daytona.
