Photo Gallery for A/Sedan and A-B/Production cars
Jon Mello:
Since there has been interest expressed in this and I have quite a few photos courtesy from Ron Lathrop and Jerry Melton (so far), I have decided to start a photo gallery for cars that ran in the SCCA A/Sedan, A/Production and B/Production classes. You might even see some Chevy-powered sports racing cars in here. There were far fewer Trans-Am races run each year than these types of races so there are more of these kinds of photos out there.
A/Sedan cars = Camaros, Mustangs (except Shelby GT350 and GT500), Falcons, Barracudas, Darts, Javelins, Firebirds, etc. Basically American ponycars.
A/Production cars = Big block Corvettes, 427 Cobras, and big-inch AMXs.
B/Production cars = Small block Corvettes, 289 Cobras and Shelby GT350 Mustangs.
There are a number of cars that did run in both Trans-Am and A/Sedan so photos from these races can be helpful when researching a particular car. This is another reason for starting this thread.

1969 Waterford Hills: Bill Petree's white '69 Camaro behind the two early Mustangs. Then we see the Challenger III Falcon (which can also
be seen in the '69 Wolverine Trans-Am thread under the RAM Regional event) with a couple of early Camaros and others in hot pursuit.

1969 Waterford Hills: Bob McClure's big block Corvette gets off-course. Bob was one of Don Yenko's best friends. I see a Camaro in the background too.

1969 Waterford Hills Driving School: This is the famed "Purple People Eater III" Corvette prepared by Nickey Chevrolet and Ronnie Kaplan
for Jim Jeffords to drive. It dominated every race it ran back in '59 when it was new but this is 10 years after its prime.
