1965 Marlboro Governor's Cup Program.pdf

Good afternoon All!

With half time upon us and the Redskins up, thought I would take the opportunity to share the attached.

Howard Pardee scanned three Marlboro programs from his archives and shared them with us. Here is the first covering the 1965 Governor's Cup. As my computer skills catch up, I will post the other two.

Howard is a long time member of the SAAC (Shelby American Automobile Club) and owns an original GT350R. Here is the story of that car in Howard's words:

"I bought this factory race GT350 in 1983 and have had it a numerous events throughout the years. The owner/driver of the car at Marlboro was Ben Warren, Jr. and his usual co-driver was John Scott. Marlboro was the very first race that the car was in after it was received from Shelby American in '65. After Marlboro it ran at Virginia International Raceway, BA, Courtland, AL, Nassau Speed Weeks in the Bahamas and was entered as a reserve at Sebring, FL. The owner became ill in early 1966 and never raced it again. It was sold by his widow in 1969 and raced in the upper Midwest by Gerald Mulnix and Douglas Tipple during the 1970 and 1971 season before being retired to the street."

The car competed under number 7 at Marlboro; Howard is always interested in any information about the car.

Finally in one of those small world stories, Howard and I served in the USCG in Connecticut in the early 70's. Although we didn't know each other, I do remember his GT350 parked on the reservation.

Take care,

Mike Matune

If you get a message from Robert Hines with no subject, I'd purge it without reading.

Rick Mandelson told me of Bob's passing, and I opened the enclosure expecting some message from his family. Instead, his account is apparently hacked and you'll get a spam message.

I'm running my virus software as we speak.

Cheers and Happy New Year, Bob Storck

Terry,

Thanks for the info, I am sure Howard will appreciate it.

Attached is a picture of Howard's car I took at the 2006 SAAC Convention at VIR. Thought it was interesting to compare the two photos.

Terry,

Thank you very much for sending the photo. I know that you used it in your excellent book about the Bahamas Speedweeks. At Nassau it ran meatball number 17 and at Marlboro it ran number 7.

Mike,

I've already contacted Terry and thanked him for sending the photo. As you know, he is the author of a book on the Bahamas Speedweeks. 5R095 ran in three races there in 1965 and the photo he sent was one from his book.

Thank you very much for posting the program scans. I hope they weren't too much work for you.

Someone from the Atlanta Region raced a 350 Shelby in a 1967 regional at Vidalia, Ga on the city airport which was a WW II training base. Ed Rahal had his D-Jag there for what would be its final outing. In neither the Saturday 5-lapped nor the Sunday 15-lap feature were those two cars over about 100 feet apart. Great races. The Shelby won both but the feature only because he wound that 289 up to 7500 to get past the D late in the race.

Funny you should ask because it is almost always on the tip of my tongue but only once a year or so can I remember. I'll check with the AR to see if any oldtimer knows. A friend who just retired from the GE plant where I work raced a Sprite back then. I''ll email him. I remembered my friend from "back in the day" and hope he might remember the 350GT driver. Dick something or another. Might have been Dick Ott, come to think of it but I'll check.

cgaysu

Good morning all,

Howard Pardee shared this with me concerning the reopening of Thompson Speedway's road course in Connecticut. Like all of you, I have heard similar stories about Marlboro over the years. I guess this proves "Never Say Never"!

Take care,

Mike Matue

Thank you for all of your positive comments and support toward the

re-paving and re-opening of the historic road course here at Thompson. We

were planning on putting out a more formal press release next week with the

accompanying image after we release our 2013 racing schedule and rules. The

info that is being passed around is in fact true and did come from us. It was

distributed to all the clubs, groups and schools that have worked with us to

develop this plan and go through feasibility over the past two years. To

clear up a couple things in the comments below. The venue, when used as a

road course, will be primarily for club events, i.e., PCA, BMW, SCCA, etc,

high performance driving schools, corporate outings, testing, etc. Our

primary goal is to re-pave the historic course, upgrade degraded asphalt,

safety barriers and overall facilities and amenities. When there are oval

racing events the track will transform back to the traditional oval

configuration. Parking will take place the same as it does now during oval

events. Again, we will be releasing more on the facility upgrades and

r-paving project over the next couple weeks. Any questions or concerns please

message the facebook page and we will contact you personally.”
