FinnShark - Peter Brock Jay Lenon kirjakerhossa.

Vanhaa herkistelyä vielä. Äijät hakee ensimmäiset tuotanto z06:t ja lähtee suoraan tallille ruuvaamaan niitä seuraavan viikonlopun kisaan. Tosta on hauska stoori jossain Corvette kirjassa, missä noista 3 lähtee kohti länsirannikkoa ja ajaminen menee ihan cannonball tyyliin ja yksi lähtee Nevadasta ylös Washingtoniin ja kaksi jatkaa vielä täysillä LA:n... :cool: :cool:

Historic 1962 footage of Dave MacDonald, Bob Bondurant and Jerry Grant picking up three of the first four 1963 Z06 Corvette Stingray's ever produced. GM & Zora Duntov flew the racers out to the St. Louis plant in September 1962 where they personally received their sports cars. Chevrolet brass decided it would be Dave MacDonald who would receive the historic first-ever 1963 Corvette Stingray. Dave (accompanied by wife Sherry) Bondurant and Grant then drove the cars back to the west coast. The three drivers had less than two weeks to race prep the new Vettes for their debut at Riverside International Raceway. Footage of this 3hr endurance race is at the end of the video. This race marked the first ever meeting between two of the world's most iconic sports cars, the Corvette Stingray and Shelby Cobra. Dave and Cobra driver Billy Krause had the fans cheering as they exchanged the lead several times during a spectacular battle before both cars left the race with rear wheel problems. (Duntov allotted the 4th Stingray to Los Angeles racer/car builder Mickey Thompson and Mickey had it flown out to LA two weeks earlier on a Flying Tigers cargo jet. California Corvette star Doug Hooper drove the car in this race and took the checkered flag).

This was Dave's last race in a Corvette as Carroll Shelby made him an offer he couldn't refuse. He won his very first race in the Cobra Roadster and then went on to dominate sports car racing until his death at Indy. Dave would distinguish himself as the driver who drove all the Shelby Cobras - Cobra Roadster 260ci, Cobra Roadster 289ci, King Cobra, King Cobra-Lang Cooper and the Daytona Cobra Coupe - to their first-ever victories.
