Pre-race prep on the Follmer Mustang. Its interesting to see how basic the pit facilities were at these events. Sure, this was 1970, but these were million dollar race teams. And they were out working in the dirt and dust.

By 1970, most of the factory race teams had enclosed car transporters. Dan Gurney's All American Racers factory Plymouth Cuda's had really great looking haulers which were painted up the same as their race cars. A notable exception was Jim Hall's Chaparral team, who still had open ramp trucks. I think that may possibly be one of the Chaparral haulers parked next to Follmer's Mustang.
