SCCA Racing from Vacavalley in the Mid 1960's. Great Vintage film!

thanks for sharing! I'm pretty sure my grandfather Martin Illgen was Chief Turn Marshal and is seen at minute 4:13, in white jacket uniform and aviator glasses, pointing a participant toward the pits.

The RDC named the 4 hour enduro after him.

Great stuff!

My parents took me to a race in '65 or '66 (I was 14-15 years old). I was there to watch the Cobra's...

Thanks for posting this. It brings back some great memories. I was racing a

silver Porsche Speedster, #39 in this race. If you were following closely going into

turn one you would get sprayed with pebbles. In this race a pebble broke my

English goggles.

Usually it was very hot here and at one race there was an infield fire that

put smoke across the straight. We had to drive through it hoping it was

clear on the other side.

This was racing at the "gut" level. Fun, fun, fun.

Vacaville Calif?, If so then the freeway in the back ground is I-80 Nor cal. Sure looks like the Vacaville area. Cool vid thank you very much!

This was shot by my father in September 1965 or Spring 1966. My co-worker very kindly transferred it to video some years ago. I am the little boy who appears briefly in the film. I liked Lotuses, thus accounting for some of the closeups. I think the blue E Production Porsche (#95) was my Mom's Doctor, I think his name was Lee.

Note the traffic going by on the highway in the bacground.
