THIS VIDEO JUST APPEARED ON U-TUBE. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6QOrC4YCdY4
OZZIE POHL now owned the #19 white 57 Corvette, formerly owned by DOUG HOOPER. THIS IS SANTA BARBARA 1965 MAY 29-30, 1965.
GREAT FOOTAGE. THE LAST ''POOF'' OF DIRT IS WHEN OZZIE LOST IT FOR THE LAST TIME WHEN THE FLYWHEEL BLEW THE BACK OF THE ENGINE AND DRIVER PEDALS ''OFF'' AND THE CAR WENT THRU THE SKY OVER THE ''ANDY GUMP'' TOILET 20 FEET IN THE AIR. SEE http://registryofcorvetteracecars.com/ee/i...e/view_cars/187
for more detail. DAVE HOOD from Moscow, Idaho just found the 8mm movie after 47 years on the shelf. FRED YEAKEL SAID,
'' May 29 & 30, 1965 was the first race weekend for my 1957 Corvette. We finished the car early Saturday morning and trailered it up to the SB races. The biggest problem was that the rear intake manifold seal kept failing after two laps and I would be black flagged for smoking. We finally gave up and watched the Sunday race. I watched Ozzie go over the embakement. I went to see him in the hospital and loaned him my trailer to bring his/Doug's car back to North Hollywood. If you look closely at the video, there are two Cheetahs in the background. Jerry Entin's and very briefly the silver #33 Dixon Cadillac car. I am attaching three scans from that Santa Barbara program.
NOTE JERRY ENTIN IN A CHEEATH, DAVE JORDAN AND SCOOTER PATRICK IN A PORSCH 904, DOUG HOOPER IN THE ''ALLIGATOR''. EVEN PAUL BAITY IS DRIVING MY OLD 64 B/P SILVER CORVETTE. I FOUND THE CAR IN 1985 AND RESTORED IT FOR VINTAGE RACING. TOM COTTER OWNS IT TODAY.
The internet is just great ! SAVE THE WAVE !
