SCCA regional events in Texas etc. 1960s-70s through the lens of Jerry Melton

[khyndart in CA]

Back to the April SCCA Meet at Michigan.
John Martin was a driver for the Ron Kaplan AMC Javelin # 4.
John at 29 yrs old, had worked his way up from being a mechanic, crew chief, test driver and then given an opportunity to drive in Trans-Am.

Note the rear spoiler that was only used at this event on the Javelin in 1969.
(Which probably means this was a 1968 team car.)






Coming up to the start and Ed Houlihan's flag.

John went on to win the A Sedan Class race that weekend.
