Jack ... right you are!


Could not wade thought all the text of the ad , but as pointed out … Gurney winning IROC in 1970 … not quite

I was at the IROC races in Riverside in October '73 … beautiful cars, great racing, quite a line up of drivers ...

- Donohue
- Unser
- Fittipaldi
- Pearson
- Follmer
- Foyt
- Revson
- Hulme
- Allison
- Petty
- Johncock
- McCluskey

- No Dan Gurney (not sure why, he was certainly qualified !)

- The first IROC race series was in Oct '73 & Feb 74 with Porsche Carrera RSR 911s, the Cameros (hardly a Ford) came in the next season in '74'/75 and there after (if I recall correctly).
