MoMore photos of 1960s.

  

• These three TR-4s were photographed at Green Valley Raceway by my husband on February 14, 1965, as they were on their cool down lap. That is Vick Campbell, Tulsa, in the back. Vick's car is the nudge that pushed John into racing. This is the section right behind the pits near the bump that would often get fast cars flying off all four wheels. This photo was taken before John bought his TR-4.

  • Vick Campbell adjusts the carb jet on John's TR-4 at a driver's school at Okmulgee, Oklahoma, sometime around 1965. John was there as a sponsor since he was too young to drive. His driver was Sid Adair. Vick went on to drive one of the first Z-28s in the country in SCCA "A" sedan. In 1970 he was driving the Trans Am and got involved in an infamous crash in Canada.

  • This clipping is in one of John's Vietnam scrapbooks. Note the date. John was a "short timer" with exactly one month left of his tour in Saigon. Must have been a heck of tour, getting his Competition Press and all. John thinks that might even be Vick Campbell standing there on the far right foreground.
