- This is part of the Harvey West Film Archives. Harvey sadly passed away several years ago after a courageous battle against cancer, however I've been entrusted with all of his old Super 8mm films.
This was the fourth year for the SCCA Trans-Am running at Road America. After the pony car era dwindled in 1972, 1973 saw the addition of more cars to the series with the addition of the Porsche 911S and RSR Carreras, Chevy Corvettes, and Ford Escorts and Capris. The film here is of the first several laps, shot from the outside of Canada Corner. I took the time to figure out the order of the first few cars:
1. Warren Agor-Camaro
2. John Greenwood-Corvette
3. Jerry Thompson/Marshall Robbins-Corvette
4. Paul Nitcher-Camaro
5. Carl Shafer-Camaro
6. Peter Gregg-Porsche
7. Al Holbert-Porsche
8. Milt Minter-Porsche
9. Sam Posey/Harley Cluxton- Ford Capri
10. Mo Carter-Camaro
11. Joe Chamberlain-Camaro
12. Elliot Forbes-Robinson-Porsche
My dad passed away a year ago, and im going through some of his photos from this race now. Thanks for posting a transferred video from it.
