Velocity Invitational. Laguna Seca. November 2021

[khyndart in CA]

More of the Scott Sharp Camaro # 33.
As I noted before, the Trans Am group had to prepare out in the open away from the shade and other amenities.
(Not a problem with battery power and a floor jack !)


Scott was very good friends with Tommy Kendall, another young talented US driver, who had an awful crash at Watkins Glen in June 1991 while driving a IMSA GTP Intrepid. Tom's legs and feet were badly broken and even now 30 years later he still walks with a noticeable limp. But he did bravely return to racing including the 1996 Bathurst 1000 driving for Dick Johnson. Kendall holds the distinction of being the first US driver to have ever finished that race.
While he was recovering Scott Sharp had this message written on the rear of his Camaro.


"On June 30, 1991, Kendall suffered serious leg injuries at Watkins Glen when a mechanical failure caused his Intrepid RM-1 IMSA GTP car to leave the track and crash head-on into a tire wall. This occurred along the same area of track where J. D. McDuffie of NASCAR Winston Cup fame was killed only a month later, and both crashes led to the addition of a bus stop chicane on the backstretch. (Wikipedia)
