Jim Eh. Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 It looks like there is a blue vette in this clip The race starts at 11:10 and the first decent shot of it is at 11:45 Or I could be totally wrong and it's a 1928 Morris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAdams Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 I am sure the 1988 recollection was Roly Thibault's Corvette. I can't remember, but I think I brought him out for driving school with a group from Regina. I already passed his contact information on to Bill Keogh. I am still searching my archive for stuff about Roly's car. Mike Adams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 1970 the car was disassembled and made into a Daytona Blue 454 ASR car which he ran until 1976 when he won the regional ASR championship. Pat found a Z06 big tank at a junk yard in Los Angeles and installed it in the car to run enduros with it. Pat paid $30 for the tank! Talked to his crew chief back in the day. I also spoke with Dan Pearson and his Dad who raced the car in Trans Am as a black 350 engine car for several years in the North West.
