Here are some cool pics I found of Dick Gulstrand's 1983 Z/28 at the 24 hours of Nelson Ledges.

 

Z/28 came in first. Mustang SVO second. Porsche 944 third.

 

Take that, you turd 4 cylinder cars! Cool photos/ad.

 

Here's a Trans Am from the same race. He placed 36th.

 

Some from the '84 Longest Day....






"Experimental" yellow Guldstrand IROC.

 

What happend to that Z28? Looks like it got rolled during the race. I really like the bright red / silver trim '82-'84 Z28's.

 

Thats the proper order. As long as a thirdgen Camaro or 'Bird came in first with a Mustang and Porsche following it was a good ending to the race ha ha.

 

What were the regulations required of vehicles to be able to run in the race?

 

I don't know the particulars, but you were allowed to run components which were planned for future production.

For example:

VR50/245/16 Gatorbacks on an '83 Z/28 and Mustang SVO in the '83 race and an '85 IROC in 1984, months before their actual release.

I also believe that the '82 race had the Camaro running an L-69.

All of that stuff was for the factory backed teams, however. The privateers just ran stock(ish) cars.

 

Sweet pix for sure-got to love the fog lights just screwed to the TA nose LOL! I have lived an hour or less from Nelson Ledgesmy whole life and never been there.

 

Great find, thanks for sharing. Hard to believe that was 30 years ago.

 

Great pics!! I love the old racing pictures. One of these days I am going to try and own a old thirdgen race car if there are any still out there.

 

an admirable goal and one i have aswell, i also have quite alot of old (time these cars were new) photos of them racing in i believe both this series and the kelly american challenge series, would anyone like me to post them (be warned theres over 50)

 

YES! Post them.

 

Sounds cool! post them!!

Thanks! Great pics!



Sometime in the summer of '89, I was in my IROC coming home on I-94 around midnight. I saw one of these two Mecum Racing Camaros on a trailor about a 1/4 mile ahead. As I got closer, I suddenly recognized it. I matched my speed to it and followed alongside for about 10 minutes, checking it out.

 

Totally awesome pics!!!!!!! Great for the historatic record. Since finding an original race car that is not wrecked can be a tuff task. I have been thinking about recreating one using a white car.

These pics are a great historic record to work from. Thanks again for posting!!
