Trans-Am Series, 1971 |
I drove with Peter Revson in the bright yellow and black #68 and #69 AMC trans-am Javelins. We sometimes switched cars, but always set them up differently as far as chassis adjustments, etc. I often out-drove Peter in many testing sessions and races. Peter, having a larger than life image and name, was Roy's favorite at the time. These were great looking, as were all of Roy's cars. |

At Bryar Motorsport Park, it was the first time in a professional event that all three front row drivers qualified with identical lap times. Mark Donohue...Javelin, George Follmer...Mustang and your truly in a Javelin... all qualified within 1/100th of one second. Birdie Martin" from SCCA, and Charlie Rainville the Chief Steward of the event, decided there was not enough time to re-qualify us. So they said to "Draw Straws". We did; so Mark got Pole, I was second, George was third. I made my point that since I was the leading "Pole" I should be granted the pole, but that didn't fly. |
Tony and Revson exchanged places several times during the race |
Closely matched teammates |
