<VV> The Henry Ford Flicker photos

[James P. Rice]

Kevin:  Good find!!  Haven't had chance to look at many of the selections.
Lots of things to look at sometime when I don't have a lot to do.  Thanks!  

For those who want to look for Corvair specific material, this info:

There was one Stinger at the January 66 Daytona 24 Hrs.  Don Yenko drove a
Volvo in the race.  The Volvo's owner, Art Riley was one of the Stinger
drives.  The Stinger finished, but I don't remember where.  So did the
Volvo. 

There was also a Corsa coupe entered in the GT class.  While it DNF, one of
the drivers was a knar-do-well named Bobby Allison.

There were 2 Stingers entered in the March 1966 Sebring 12 hr race.  Both
DNF by about 25 laps.  Actually, on DNF and the other one was disqualified. 

There was a Stinger in the 1968 Sebring 12 hr, entered and driven by Donna
Mae Mims.  They finished, but again off the top of my head, I don't remember
where. 

Those are the only 5 Corvair entries at the top level on International
Endurance racing.  

Lots of really good vintage photos of then contemporary racing.  Cool stuff.
>From my brief look at the choices, I remember most of the events, cars and
drivers as current events.  Kinda scary

Historically Yours,
                James Rice

My uncle found this link. It has lots of photo albums of vintage racing
photos. I found over a dozen pictures of Yenko Stingers racing in the 1966
Daytona 24 hour race. I'm sure there could be many more it you have time to
browse through every album.
