I think the driver was Dave Heinz. I remember seeing it at Sebring as a child; When Sebring was a race, not a show. It and the Greenwood cars got me hooked on Vettes. To watch that thing THUNDER down the runways took my breath away :yesnod: . This is what I tell ricers...You don't fast.

The 57 car is owned by Mike Yager of Mid America and is one of my favorite C3's, you can go to their web site and see it at Mikes Garage. I saw it just after the restoration was completed at Cypress Gardens, they backed it out of the trailer and fired it up and I had an orgasm, it is an awesome car! :eek: :jester

I found this site the other day - http://www.motorracingretro.i12.com/

This area in particular seems to be C3 rich - http://www.motorracingretro.i12.com/seventies02.htm

Back in the spring I was at the NCM and this car was on display.

I considered myself lucky to see this car in person.

It was awesome.

What class of racing is that car used in?

Great car, but I believe that it's not the Dave Heinz / Don Yenko car referred to above.

THERE IS A HISTORIC SPORTSCAR RACE AT DAYTONA OCT 31 NOV 1 I THINK. WOULD BE NICE IF THEY WERE THERE THEN. IT'S A SHAME THAT SO MANY RACE VETTE'S DISAPPEARED.

#27 Rich Sloma's 1969
 

I have been planning on restoring this racer for 20 years but have moved on to other projects. It will take someone who loves Sub-Lime green to restore it. I beleave it also ran Trans Am and IMSA.

It was the North Pacific Champ from 69 to about 74 in B production.
Currently its a roller that needs everything.

And another 5 years have gone by with this project not getting any closer to the track.
