[Vintage-race] FW: [wdcr-solo] 1967 Marlboro Raceway TransAm Film Clip...

[Dave Mapes]

Hi Folks,

This was posted to the WDCR SCCA Solo list.  I've shared it with a few folks
but it just occured to me that their MIGHT be some interest on here.  It
captures the Group 44 Dart with Bob Tullius among others mentioned below (my
focus was on Bob's white number 44 Dart though:

Here is an old movie clip of the DC Region's old track.  It was 1.7 miles
and used part of a small stock car oval.  Located just south of Md Route 5
on 301.  The facility is still there (at least it was about 1 1/2 years ago
when I last looked), but hidden by trees and undergrowth.  A shopping center
with a Giant is just north of the track now.  More track per acre than the
Shenandoah Circuit.

This clip is of a Trans-Am race, probably 1967, when the series was just
taking off.  You can see red Bud Moore Cougars with Cale Yarborough as one
of the drivers, the blue #6 Camaro entered by Roger Penske and driven by
Mark Donahue, pale yellow and a bright yellow Mustangs entered by Carroll
Shelby, etc.  The moviemaker was standing on a hillside out side of the
Marlboro property and thus didn't have to pay an entry fee.
