I have a great memory of Janet Guthrie.=C2=A0 One of the first races I ever=
attended was the "Glen 500" at Watkins Glen.=C2=A0 It was The Glen's attem=
pt at something like the Trans Am, before the Trans Am existed.=C2=A0 They =
lumped all AP, BP, CP and DP cars together in one race, called the Glen 500=
.=C2=A0 It was held in conjunction with an SCCA National race weekend.=C2=
=A0 Bob Tullius was there in a TR-4, and Janet Guthrie was driving a Jag XK=
-140.
I worked at the local radio station in Corning during high school, so I was=
able to get pit passes.=C2=A0 While I was in the pits, watching the action=
, Janet Guthrie pulled into the pits.=C2=A0 This was about half way through=
the race (or more).=C2=A0 One of the crew ran over to the car, and I could=
hear Janet say, "we don't have any oil pressure", to which the crew man re=
sponded, "the oil pressure gauge hasn't worked all day, get back out there!=
"
I thought this was funny, but no dis-respect to Janet.=C2=A0 She was a real=
pioneer in our sport.=C2=A0 I still have the race program from that race i=
n 1964, and in addition to Janet Guthrie, there were some big names in that=
race.=C2=A0 Bob Nagel and Ed Lowther in an AC Cobra, Don Yenko and Dick Th=
ompson in a Corvette, Bob Grossman in a Corvette, and Hal Keck in a Cobra.=
=C2=A0 Bob Tullius did well in the TR-4.=C2=A0 About 2/3 of the way through=
the race, he was running in the top 3 or 4 with the Corvettes and Cobras, =
when his engine gave out.=C2=A0 They had replaced the engine the night befo=
re the race, so he was running a brand new engine in the race, with no brea=
k in time.=C2=A0 I'm going from memory here, and this was over 50 years ago=
, but I think I am generally correct on this.=C2=A0 Obviously, it had a big=
impact on me.
By the way, one more note.=C2=A0 FOT's own Dick Stockton was in a race earl=
ier in the day for C, D, E and F Modified, called the "Glen Trophy".=C2=A0 =
Dick drove a Ferrari in F Modified.=C2=A0 Interesting what you can find in =
these old race programs.
