My camera battery quit right before the 2nd Can Am and Trans Am races and I was prepared and put in my back-up battery and it failed immediately. I rushed around looking for a place to charge the battery and went through Roger Williams garage out to the pit lane. I only had my phone to photograph and with a smudged lens (unknown at the time) I managed to take some "smudge shots" before I was escorted out of this area and almost run over ! (Excuse the quality but it was an exciting time for me. )

Two of the best looking cars in the race were the ex Penske Sunoco 1967 McLaren M6A driven by Brian Blain and the ex Penske Sunoco 1970 Ferrari 512M # 6 driven by Lawrence Stroll.
