Trans-Am Camaros / Re: Walter Parkins 1970 Trans Am Z/28 Camaro

That was a very sharp looking car! Love the Motor Wheel Spyder's as well.

Do you know the rough dates of those pictures above?

I'm thinking 1975.  I saw David Jungerman win the June Sprints in dramatic fashion that year.  He started dead last and came through the pack against some tough competition.  The battle for the lead in A Sedan was between Sid Rust in an ex-Chaparral Camaro and Warren Fairbanks in his Camaro.  They traded the lead many times before Warren lost and engine.  Jungerman ended up catching Rust before it was over.  The top 3 were Jungerman, Rust and Jerry Dunbar.

Another shot of the ex-Parkins Camaro with David Jungerman spinning as Jerry Dunbar passes in the ex-Carl Shafer Camaro.  Of course prior to Jerry Dunbar and Carl Shafer, that car was driven by Marshall Robbins and Bill Petree.

This picture shows pretty much exactly what the car looked like when Walter Parkins drove it.

Here are a few pictures of the Walter Parkins Camaro when it was driven by David Jungerman.

I apologize that I don't know who the photographer is.

I found this picture on facebook.

There was a USAC pony class also.  Jerry Lagod ran USAC's Yankee 250 at IRP in 1970.  The pony race was not run by itself.  All cars ran together.  

The pony cars had to run steel wheels.

In the pits at the Donnybrooke Trans Am in 1971. Warren Fairbanks' Camaro #96, Jerry Lagod's Camaro #44 and John McComb's Mustang #33.

The show car doesn't have widened fenders either. The body looks stock. I'm sure that's just a show car.

There's an interesting picture in the book "Corvette-Star Spangled Sports Cars" that shows the Owens-Corning Corvettes taking the checker, finishing 1-2 at a national at Mid-Ohio in the rain and right behind them finishing 3rd O.A. and winning B Production is Ike in the AMX.

Frank Search's driving style was fun to watch!  All you ever saw was the side of the car...

I remember Gary Fautch driving one at a Road America Trans Am in the late 70's and it was still in the IROC paint.

This photo is from the Canadian Touring Car Championship race that wknd. - won by Mo Carter, then Al Mason, Peter Schwartzott, Jean-Guy Roy, Doug Weaver, Francois Favreau, and myself in 7th.  All except
Weaver and Mason ran in some T/A races.  Weaver drove a camaro - might have come from Michigan and later became a well known Corvette racer?  Don't remember him racing a camaro any other time at Harewood or Mosport.

The CTC races were Canada's version of the T/A races.

Robert, you may be thinking of Ron Weaver. He was from Michigan and drove an A Production Corvette during the era when the Owens Corning Corvettes were dominating.

Trans-Am Camaros / Handy Andy Camaro

Does anybody have pictures of the 1969 Camaro driven by Paul Jett? It was orange and said "Handy Andy" on the rear fenders. I saw it at the MIS Trans Am in 1971.

I think the best looking wheel of the late 70's early 80's era.
