Thank you. I think EARL HURLBUT was american. The car was purchased new at a GM showroom in Rome, NY.
I haven't found any Canadian connection so far.

Winter work in progress. Getting ready for the 2015 season.

Yes it is a 2nd gen split bumper Camaro, but as a group 1 car, it is quite slow.

You have followed our first races in vintage racing with our 1967 Camaro in 2014.
I am very happy to announce that we will be part of the 2015 Heritage Touring Cup Championship which is now an FIA sanctioned International event. See details here : http://peterauto.peter.fr/en/plateaux/detail/id/37/nom/HERITAGE%20Touring%20cup

Two new rounds will take place in Italy with Vallelunga in March and the iconic and very fast Monza in July.

I will keep you updated on our results.

Just one shot of the lat 2014 round :

The Paul Ricard has been fully redone when Bernie Ecclestone bought it in 1999. The goal was to make the most sophisticated track in the world in terms of security, hence the run-off space with blue and red stripes. These stripes are made of special material that slow down cars running on them. The blue slows you down, the red stops you and can damage your tires.
The track reopened to the public only in 1998. Superb !

Many thanks. I will keep you posted when the 2015 season begins.

I was curious, what do your competitors think about having to race against your old American V8 car?
I did not have any direct comments but as usual they might think an american car is heavy and  not sophisticated so that it does not handle and brake. We have been very pleased about the handling ourselves even if braking is still the weak point. That said the leading cars in our championship are untouchable, particularly the ex.works Ford Capri GAA with quad cam 3.4  v6 Cosworth with 440 HP for 970 Kg. The fastest BMW are also untouchable, you can really feel the difference in terms of handling and braking. But we feel with we still have a margin of improvement both on the car and on the driving, so we hope to climb a little in the classification next year. But a 6th O.A and 2nd in performance index is already an achievement for us for the first year.
