Racing Heroes – Miles and Sam Collier

While both were accomplished racers, neither Cowles "Miles" Collier nor his older brother, Sam, ever became a champion of motorsport. Though the brothers ran at Le Mans, once driving for college friend Briggs Cunningham, their contribution to American motorsports is far more significant than wins and podium finishes, for it was the Collier brothers who introduced the MG brand to the United States, founded the Automobile Racing Club of America (the forerunner of the Sports Car Club of America) and introduced endurance racing to a former bomber training facility in the swamps of central Florida known as Sebring.
Miles and Sam Collier were born to a life of privilege, the sons of Barron Gift Collier, a man who'd made his original fortune in streetcar and subway advertising, but later branched out (successfully) into real estate, banks, hotels, steam ships and newspapers. Sam was the oldest of the two, born to Barron Collier and his wife Juliet in 1912, followed by Miles in 1914. Growing up, the boys split their time between New York and Florida, where the Collier family had a substantial investment in land that others viewed as worthless. By the 1930s, Miles and Sam had both become infatuated with sports cars and the sports car racing scene in Europe, so the brothers worked with eldest sibling, Barron Jr., and family friend Tom Dewart to construct a rudimentary rack track around Overlook, the family's expansive New York estate.

Racing commenced with home-built go karts, but soon progressed to sports cars after Barron Jr. was gifted an MG-J2 by his girlfriend. As the crowds for each impromptu race grew, the Collier brothers realized that the time was right to found an organization dedicated to amateur racing, and in 1933 the Automobile Racing Club of America was born. ARCA held several events throughout New England prior to the start of the Second World War, but the Collier brothers could only devote a portion of their attention to racing; among their other endeavors, Sam Collier had founded Motor Sport, Inc, the sole U.S. importer of MG automobiles. The death of Barron Collier Sr. in March of 1939 only added to the brothers' responsibilities, but in June of that year Miles Collier drove his MG PA/PB Special at Le Mans, representing ARCA for the first time in Europe. A victory was not in the cards, however, as Miles and co-driver Leroy Kramer Jr. were forced to retire early with a split fuel tank.
Miles regularly campaigned his "Ardent Alligator," a green Brooklands Riley infused with flathead Mercury V-8 power, in ARCA events, while both brothers occasionally ran Briggs Cunningham's BuMerc, a road racing special built from a Buick Century chassis and drivetrain wearing a Mercedes SSK body. The final ARCA race was the 1940 World's Fair Grand Prix, held in Flushing Meadows, Queens, but no one knew this at the time; just a year later, ARCA would be disbanded with the onset of World War II. When duty called, the Collier brothers signed up to serve their country, with Miles joining the United States Army and Sam flying airplanes for the United States Navy.

In 1944, the Sports Car Club of America was founded in Boston, and the organization grew into a sanctioning body (picking up where ARCA had left off) in the years following World War II. The Collier brothers were active SCCA members, and in 1948 helped to organize the first Grand Prix at Watkins Glen, New York, a site chosen for its proximity to the summer home of Collier family friend and fellow SCCA member Cameron Argetsinger. Initially, the 6.6-mile course incorporated public roads through the village of Watkins Glen, but the death of a young spectator in the 1952 event reconfigured the course to a safer (and shorter) layout, though the modern, dedicated road course version of Watkins Glen was still some years in the future.
As detailed by Harold W. Pace and Mark R. Brinker in Vintage American Road Racing Cars, 1950-1970, it was at Watkins Glen in 1949 where Miles Collier drove the race of his life, clawing back from a 12th place start in the Ardent Alligator to beat Briggs Cunningham, driving a Ferrari, with a last-lap pass for the win. Collier had fallen to 17th place following a disastrous start, but within three laps had driven his way to third place. As impressive as this was, he remained 52 seconds behind race leader Cunningham. In response, Collier set a single-lap course record of five minutes and 39 seconds. The following lap, Collier would shatter his own record, reducing the time to 5:24.5, but he was far from done. On the final lap of the race, Collier caught Cunningham in Milliken's Corner, passing his longtime friend prior to the front straight. As he took the checkered flag for the win, Collier again set a new record, lapping the original 6.6-mile course in 5:12.5.

June of 1950 saw the Collier brothers return to Le Mans, where Miles and Sam would share a stock Cadillac sedan prepared by Briggs Cunningham, who would campaign the oddly shaped "Le Monstre" Cadillac Spyder with co-driver Phil Walters. Despite its bulk (and, presumably, handling limitations), the Collier brothers would drive the Cadillac nicknamed "Clumsy Pup" to a 10th place finish, completing 233 laps and besting team owner Cunningham by both one position and one lap.
Though Watkins Glen was the site of Miles's biggest triumph, it would also be the site of one of the family's worst tragedies. While running third in the 1950 Watkins Glen Grand Prix in a Ferrari 166 Inter borrowed from Briggs Cunningham, Sam Collier lost control of the car on loose gravel, skidded off the track and was thrown from the tumbling race car. Though he survived the incident and the subsequent ride to the hospital, Sam Collier was pronounced dead later that evening.

The incident (and, reportedly, pressure from his mother, Juliet) prompted Miles Collier to walk away from driving race cars, although his absence was temporary (and his subsequent return to motorsports in 1953 was unbeknownst to his mother). Prior to Sam's death, the brothers had begun a dialogue with Alex Ulmann to run a European-style timed endurance race at a former bomber training facility on the outskirts of Sebring, Florida. Seeking a way to honor his brother's memory, Miles pressed on with organizing The Sam Collier Memorial Grand Prix of Endurance, held on December 31, 1950, and in the years since, Sebring (now extended to 12 hours) has become a premier endurance event in the world of sports car racing.
Though motorsports would not claim the life of Miles Collier, polio would. Despite his vast fortune and resources, Miles Collier succumbed to the disease in April of 1954, at just 40 years of age. To honor all that the Collier brothers had done for racing in the United States, the SCCA debuted the Collier Brothers Memorial Trophy Race for MGs at the Watkins Glen Grand Prix in September of 1954. Today, the Sportscar Vintage Racing Association still awards the Collier Cup annually to MG drivers at Watkins Glen, honoring the memory of the brothers who died young, but not before they helped to shape the future of amateur motorsports in the United States.
Hemmings Find of the Day – 1963 Formcar Formula Vee racer
In the early 1960s, amateur racing enjoyed a surge in popularity, thanks in part to the availability of low-cost, reliable formula racers. Among the most popular series was Formula Vee, which featured open-wheel racers with tube frames and fiberglass (or aluminum) bodies, powered by Volkswagen flat-four engines. One of the earliest manufacturers of Formula Vee cars was Formcar, which began producing cars a few years before the SCCA recognized Formula Vee as a class in 1963. That makes this 1963 Formcar Mk. I Formula Vee racer for sale on Hemmings.com one of the company's early products, and it's perfect for the driver looking to enjoy the thrill of vintage racing on a modest budget. Though air-cooled Volkswagen components are no longer available at every junkyard, the availability of aftermarket components ensures that obtaining parts will be a non-issue, and the durable Volkswagen engine is capable of withstanding a fair amount of abuse between rebuilds. As dedicated race cars go, it really doesn't get more trouble free than this. From the seller's description:
Formcar Mk I, Chasis No. 63 DEN 25, 1192cc, Type I engine, Type I 4-speed gear box. Most recently raced at SOVREN events. Exciting and economical vintage Race Class. This FV is competitive, reliable and fun.

Hemmings Find of the Day – 1961 Austin-Healey Sprite Mk. II Racer
To make a small fortune in racing, it's said, it's best to start with a large one. Even at the amateur level, most forms of motorsport have grown exponentially in cost over the past few decades, though there are still ways to keep racing affordable. This 1961 Austin-Healey Mk. II for sale on Hemmings.com is a prime example of a car that's affordable to buy and affordable to race. It's been prepared to run in the SCCA H Production class, making it suitable for aspiring racers with little experience, or could be campaigned in the SCCA Solo autocross series, offering even more bang for the buck. Because it's not street legal in its current form, the selling price includes an open deck trailer, making this a true turnkey race car that needs just a bit of TLC to make race-ready. From the seller's description:
I purchased this '61 Austin-Healey race car in 2001 with the intention of obtaining an SCCA driving license and racing the car in HP Production. I had no racing or car-building experience. The car had been recommended by a personal friend who successfully built and raced a very nice MG Midget among other racing cars. The Healey had participated in the 2000 and 2001 SCCA Runoffs and was thus well-sorted and pretty much ready to race and more competitive than my skills in all probability. The car was delivered early in 2002 with a reconditioned 948-cc BMC 4 cyl."national engine." My personal friend/builder checked out the car upon delivery from Illinois and found it to be as promised. Shortly thereafter, it completed about 15 laps at Nelson's Ledges as part of a training session lasting one day. The Healey performed quite well at this time. At this time, a member of my family experienced quite serious health issues, and the car was stored in my son's garage in Stow, Ohio, where it remains today. It has been untouched since that Nelson's Ledges experience.
Features of the car include fiberglass hood and trunk lid, as well as removable Huffaker front fenders and rear quarters. The car is painted DuPont acrylic white and looks good. An ATL fuel cell and dual electric fuel pumps. Steel-braided fuel, oil, and brake lines. MGB "big-brake" conversion with four wheel discs, Hawk pads, and proportioning valve. The adjustable front suspension consists of dual carrera tube shocks and race-hardened spindles. The rear has carrera coil-over, tubular sway bar, double bearing hubs with race axles and is also adjustable. Transmission is a Nissan/Datsun conversion. The car also has an oil cooler, Accusump prestart oil pressure system, HPV – 1 Electromotive ignition system and Tilton master cylinder, new racing seat and five point harness.
The above description constitutes nearly everything I know of the Healey. Obviously, it will need new fluids, fuel cell element, tires, etc. and tender loving care. I do have some paperwork and receipts, which came with the car, but have shared most of the information above. I want to sell the car as is, and have neither the time, motivation nor expertise to make it race-ready. The Healey does come with a rebuilt trailer which has a new 4" drop axle complete with new wheels and tires, new wiring, fenders, lights and ramps. It needs some paint work, but otherwise should be just fine.

Lost Cars of the 1980s – 1988-'92 Chevrolet Camaro 1LE
The 1988 Camaro IROC-Z, the basis for the 1LE package. Photos courtesy GM Media Archives, unless otherwise noted.
As the 1980s came to a close, racing in the Sports Car Club of America's Showroom Stock series was gaining in popularity, just as sales of the third-generation Camaro, launched late in the 1982 model year, were beginning to taper off. Wanting to make the Camaro as competitive as possible in Showroom Stock racing (in order to capitalize on the "win on Sunday, sell on Monday" effect), a group of Chevrolet engineers banded together to build a unique Camaro, one that sacrificed ride comfort for the ultimate in improved handling. The result was the limited-production Camaro 1LE, a car that required an insider's knowledge to even order, along with proof that the original buyer would be racing the car in SCCA or IMSA competition.
For the 1988 model year, the hottest Camaro generally available to the public was the IROC-Z, a nod to the automaker's sponsorship of the International Race of Champions series. Buyers looking for the highest output had two engine choices: the Tuned-Port Fuel Injection 305-cu.in. V-8, rated at 220 horsepower when bolted to a five-speed manual transmission (195 horsepower with the four-speed automatic); or the Tuned-Port Fuel Injection 350-cu.in. V-8, available only with the four-speed automatic transmission and rated at 230 horsepower. Though several option packages were available to retail buyers, the highest performance package, dubbed 1LE, remained an insider secret available only to select buyers.
It wasn't that Chevrolet wanted to limit the performance of customer cars; instead, the automaker was concerned that the 1LE package was far too extreme for street use, so it took steps to limit availability to racing teams only. The package wasn't listed on any order form, so obtaining a Camaro IROC-Z in 1LE specifications required "tricking" Chevrolet's scheduling system into building the car. First, a buyer had to order an IROC-Z with either the optional LB9 (305-cu.in) V-8 or the optional B2L (350-cu.in.) V-8. Next came production code RPO G92, a "Performance Rear Axle" kit that included 3.42:1 rear axle gearing for five-speed manual transmission cars or 3.23:1 rear gearing for automatic-equipped cars, followed by the G80 Positraction rear end. Finally, the "secret handshake" was to order this combination without air conditioning, which in turn triggered the build of the car to 1LE specifications.
In addition to the above options, the 1LE package included stiffer springs and struts; heavy-duty disc brakes; thicker front and rear antiroll bars; heavy-duty spindles and wheel bearings; an aluminum drive shaft and a baffled fuel tank that included dual pickups to prevent fuel starvation at high cornering speeds. Perhaps to test the waters, Chevrolet built a total of just four 1LE models for the 1988 model year, making this particular variant the rarest of the already rare 1LE models.

The 1LE returned for the 1989 model year, but was still not promoted to the general public. This time around, Chevrolet buried the package within the RPO G92 Performance Rear Axle Package, which now included the same rear axle ratios as in 1988; a new dual-catalyst exhaust system that boosted the output of either engine by 10 horsepower; an engine oil cooler; and four-wheel disc brakes. Ordered on cars equipped with air conditioning, this package ran $466; however, when the buyer of a car sans air conditioning checked the RPO G92 option box, the price jumped to $675. The additional $209 covered the range of 1LE extras, including larger diameter front brake rotors from the Caprice; finned aluminum brake calipers (from the Corvette parts bin); an aluminum drive shaft; a spare tire mounted on an aluminum wheel; stiffer springs and struts; special jounce bumpers; a baffled fuel tank with twin pickups and a fog lamp delete. As in 1988, buyers also had to choose one of the optional V-8 engines (either the fuel-injected 305-cu.in. LB9 or the fuel-injected 350-cu.in. BL2) to trigger the 1LE package, and sales grew to 111 units.
The following year, 1990, saw the 350-cu.in. V-8 come standard with the dual catalyst exhaust, bumping output to 245 horsepower. Still a "hidden" package, only 62 customers ordered Camaros in 1LE configuration; part of the reason was a shortened six-month production year, during which Chevrolet built just 34,986 Camaros for the 1990 model year, compared to 110,739 in 1989.

For the 1991 model year, the Z28 returned and the IROC-Z model was discontinued. Chevrolet had cut its ties with the limited-event International Race of Champions series in 1990, and was therefore no longer eligible to market its wares under the IROC banner. On the performance side of things, the 350-cu.in. V-8 carried over with the dual-catalyst exhaust and 245 horsepower, and getting the 1LE package still required ordering a specific combination of options. More consumers learned the secret, however, as 478 1LE-equipped cars were delivered in the version's penultimate year.
By the third-generation Camaro's final year, 1992, the secret of the 1LE package was out. Perhaps looking to maximize the potential value of "last year" cars (or, hopefully, looking to take advantage of contingency programs in Showroom Stock racing), 705 customers ordered Camaro Z28s with the 1LE package, meaning that final year production exceeded that of the previous four years combined.
Of the 1,360 third-generation Camaro 1LE models that were built, it's unknown how many survive today. Visually, few cues exist to distinguish a 1LE from its more pedestrian brethren, and the performance benefits of 1LE models are most evident on race tracks, not public roads. Still, the car served as a reminder that racing-oriented Camaros were built well beyond the 1960s and 1970s, and that sometimes, added performance is measured in more than just horsepower and cubic inches.
"The Real McCoy" 1956 Corvette to cross the block

In 1955, Chevrolet was struggling to find buyers for its Corvette roadster, which had yet to be proven in competition. Chevrolet engineering head Ed Cole understood that the surest way to boost the car's stock was with an on-track victory, so Cole reached out to legendary American driver John Fitch. Tasked with producing a victory at the 12 Hours of Sebring in 1956, Fitch and his team worked tirelessly to test and improve the Corvette before the race, and when the checkered flag fell, a pair of Corvettes took class wins at the prestigious event. Now, the 1956 Chevrolet Corvette SR prototype that first crossed the finish line at Sebring, known as The Real McCoy, will head to auction next month.
While Fitch's skill as a driver was without question, Cole needed him to act in a team management role as well. With just five weeks of development time before the race, Fitch's initial experience with the Corvette was disheartening. While Smokey Yunick prepared four cars for the race, Fitch began testing with a Corvette mule at Sebring, only to find that the car was scarcely capable of turning a lap at speed without a component failure. Engines lost oil pressure, wheel bearings seized, oil seals failed and so did the cars' brakes.
When Yunick delivered his Corvettes, the situation failed to improve dramatically. Each issue discovered in testing had to be sent up the chain of command by an on-site Chevrolet engineer, and improved parts had to be sourced from suppliers or constructed in house. In keeping with SCCA regulations, each improved part had to be cataloged as well, available (theoretically, at least) for any Corvette owner to purchase.
Three of the cars prepared by Yunick were equipped with Chevrolet's 265-cu.in. V-8, fitted with a custom-ground Duntov camshaft, and fed via a pair of
dual four-barrel carburetors. The fourth car, a modified 1955 chassis (number 1194) with a prototype 1956 body, was fitted with a bored and stroked V-8 that now displaced 307 cubic inches, and thus would compete in a different class during the event. To handle the engine's higher output, a custom four-speed transmission was supplied by ZF, and on race day the car would be driven by Fitch himself, paired with Walt Hansgen.

dual four-barrel carburetors.
Though Fitch, Cole and the others involved in the project (including legendary Corvette engineer Zora Arkus-Duntov, who was heading the parts engineering effort in Detroit) struggled to get the bugs worked out in advance of the event, five weeks wasn't enough time to develop a fully sorted race car. To maximize the team's chances of victory, each of the 265-cu.in. V-8 cars (numbered 5, 6 and 7) would run a different strategy involving gearing and engine speed. As for the 307-cu.in. car, issued number 1, it would be up to Fitch and co-driver Hansgen to bring the car home in one piece, hopefully with a class win.
When the green flag flew, things immediately began to look bleak for the Corvette team. On the second lap, the clutch on car number 1 began to slip, while just 20 miles into the race the rear axle failed on car number 5. Two hours into the race, car number 7′s engine let go, and car number 6 experienced a transmission problem that left it with only top gear. Despite the obstacles, cars 1 and 6 pressed on, down but far from out, and when the checkered flag waved, both cars had taken victories in their respective classes. Fitch and Hansgen's car crossed the line first, finishing ninth overall. A few minutes later, the second Corvette, number 6, finished the race in 15th overall position.
Though the victories immediately prompted Chevrolet print advertising to bill the Corvette as "a tough, road-gripping torpedo on wheels," and, more significantly, "The Real McCoy," they achieved far more than that. The general availability of the homologated high-performance parts suddenly made the Corvette attractive to other racers, and more and more Corvettes began appearing at SCCA events. In 1955, the first year of the V-8 engine, Chevrolet had produced just 700 Corvettes; in 1956, this number swelled to 3,467, and in 1957 jumped again to 6,339. Any thoughts that General Motors may have had about conceding the two-seater market to the Ford Thunderbird were banished, and it's quite likely that the victory realized by Fitch and Hansgen saved the Corvette from extinction.
In addition to its class win at Sebring, chassis 1194 was also driven by Arkus-Duntov to a new two-way Flying Mile Speed Record at the 1956 Daytona Speed Week. It's been the recipient of numerous awards over the years, including a 2012 Bloomington Gold Great Hall induction and the Spirit of Detroit award at the 2011 Concours of America.
Mecum will offer the Real McCoy Corvette at its Kissimmee, Florida, auction, which will take place January 17 to 26, 2014. For additional details, visit Mecum.com.
UPDATE (10.February): The 1956 "Real McCoy" Corvette sold for a hammer price of $2.3 million, but the transaction was later postponed over a dispute involving the ownership of parts used in the car's restoration.
Think pink! Donna Mae Mims championship-winning Sprite heads to auction

Donna Mae Mims may not have the same celebrity status as Shirley Muldowney or Danica Patrick, but the Sports Car Club of America's first female National Champion could wheel a race car with the best drivers of her day. In 1963, Mims captured the SCCA H-Production Championship in a 1959 Austin-Healey Sprite Mk I that had been purchased new by Dr. Jonas Salk, originator of the vaccine that eradicated polio by the end of the 1950s. Next month, that historically significant and fully restored racer will cross the stage in Scottsdale, Arizona, as part of Gooding & Company's annual sale.
Salk bought the Sprite in 1959 in Paris and imported it into the United States to use (briefly) as his daily driver. The car's next owner was Bill Wissel, who prepared the Austin-Healey for competition in SCCA events. It's not clear if Wissel had any success with the car, but in 1962, he sold the car to aspiring racer and self-proclaimed "Fancier of Corvettes" Donna Mae Mims. Mims had already proven her driving abilities by capturing victory in a 1961 SCCA B-Production race with her 1958 Corvette. The Sprite was, perhaps, a compromise between Mims and her husband: While it lacked the power of her fuel-injected Corvette, the car was entirely Mims's, to do with as she pleased. Her husband frowned on the idea of painting their Corvette pink, but the Sprite's color was soon changed from Old English White to Mims's soon-to-be-familiar Camellia Pink livery.
Adorned with Mims's "Think Pink" slogan, the car also carried a "Yenko Tuned" sticker on its rear. While Yenko Sports Cars hadn't worked any magic on the Sprite's 948-cc inline four-cylinder engine, the renowned dealership was where Mims held a day job as "Manager, Hi-Performance." In her first (and only) season behind the wheel of the Sprite, Mims would capture three SCCA National wins, plus enough points to deliver her the H-Production championship with a 10th-place finish in the final event of the season. The class was among the most hotly contested at the time, as its low price of entry allowed even those modest-of-budget to run competitive cars. By taking the championship, Mims had proven her abilities to handle a race car.
Now an SCCA National Champion, Mims had no trouble attracting the sponsors she needed to further her racing career. In 1964, she'd switch to campaigning an MGB in D-Production, but reliability issues prevented her from capturing back-to-back championships. Over the course of her career, Mims would go on to race everything from a Formula Vee to a big-block Camaro, and even drove a rented Cadillac limousine with co-drivers Judy Stropus and Peggy Niemcek in the 1972 running of the Cannonball Baker Sea-To-Shining-Sea Memorial Trophy Dash.
Following Mims's ownership, the Sprite became just another used race car, campaigned in SCCA events by its next two owners as late as 1987. Its current owner acquired the car in 2005 and completed an extensive restoration to 1963 specifications (assisted by Mims herself) in time for the Sprite's 50th Anniversary celebration at Mid-Ohio in 2008. Well documented throughout its history, the Think Pink Sprite should be of interest to both Austin-Healey collectors and those with a passion for the history of American road racing. Gooding's pre-auction estimate for the Sprite, which will cross the block with no reserve, ranges from $70,000 to $90,000.
Gooding's Scottsdale sale is scheduled for January 17 and 18, 2014, at the Scottsdale Fashion Square. For more information, visit GoodingCo.com.

UPDATE (22.January.2014): Donna Mae Mims's former Austin-Healey Sprite sold for $48,400, including buyer's fees.
Racing Heroes – General Curtis LeMay
General Curtis LeMay in the 1950s. U.S. Air Force photo.
As many students of military history will tell you, Curtis E. LeMay is perhaps the most polarizing figure in the U.S. military since George S. Patton. Equally respected and feared by the men serving under him, LeMay (who earned the nickname "Iron Ass") was a perfectionist who had little tolerance for those who failed to deliver 100 percent at all times. Assigned with leading the Strategic Air Command in the years following World War II, LeMay also played a big role in saving U.S. sports car racing at the dawn of the 1950s, a feat that gains him the title of racing hero.
Born in Columbus, Ohio, in November 1906, LeMay had no ambitions of becoming a racing driver, even as the first wave of enthusiasm for motorsports swept the United states in the years following World War I. After graduating from Ohio State University with a degree in civil engineering, LeMay enlisted in the U.S. Army Air Corps, where he was trained as a fighter pilot, receiving his commission as a second lieutenant in 1930. During World War II, LeMay (who then held the rank of major) routinely flew combat missions with those who served under him, and helped to develop the combat box staggered formation used by U.S. heavy bombers. Later, LeMay would direct the controversial incendiary bombing of Japan, which ultimately forced the Axis power to relocate manufacturing facilities to remote locations.

Following the conclusion of the World War II, LeMay returned to Europe as the commander of the USAF Europe, where he initially oversaw the relief effort known as the Berlin Airlift. In 1948, LeMay was recalled to the United States, where he was given command of the Strategic Air Command at Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska. His initial inspection revealed a sobering, if not horrifying, truth: Bombers equipped with nuclear weapons were guarded by an inadequate number of unarmed airmen. Equally bad, the crews tasked with flying the bombers and potentially deploying their lethal payloads proved wholly unable to do so, with many crews missing targets by miles on practice bombing runs.
Ultimately, the root cause was a loss of experienced aircrews, many of whom left the military behind for a far more lucrative career in the private sector at the end of the war. Though LeMay lacked the ability to match the pay offered by the private sector, he implemented "spot promotions" for aircrews whose performance ranked in the top 15 percent. He sought to improve housing conditions on base as well, doing away with open barracks in exchange for two-man rooms that afforded some degree of privacy. Finally, LeMay constructed on-base "hobby shops," staffed with tools and equipment, where men could spend off-hours constructively working on projects. Such improvements came with an associated cost, and LeMay's budget was already stretched thin with the constant drills and training missions he required of SAC crews.

Looking for a new source of revenue, LeMay asked his public relations officer, Reade Tilley, to contact the Sport Car Club of America to advise them that Strategic Air Commanded bases would be available for low-cost rental (with the proceeds going to support the Airman's Living Improvement Fund). Though the runways and adjoining taxiways offered little in the way of elevation changes and challenging corners, the treeless landscape did give competitors plenty of run-off room, which LeMay imagined may be a selling point to those commuting in the same cars they raced on weekends.
The reception from the SCCA may have been cool, except for a series of accidents that came to a head in Watkins Glen in September of 1952. During an SCCA-sanctioned race, held on the village streets, a seven-year-old boy was killed and 12 other spectators injured when a driver lost control and plowed into a crowd standing curbside, protected by nothing more than hay bales. Facing the loss of its event insurance (and outcry on the sport's dangers from the general public), the SCCA turned to LeMay and the SAC, and on October 26, 1952, the SCCA and the SAC entered into a two-year agreement that gave the SCCA access (on a pre-scheduled basis) to bases in Washington, Nevada, California, Nebraska, Texas, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Massachusetts, New York, Maryland, Georgia and Florida.

As Terry O'Neill explains in his book, Runways & Racers: Sports Car Races Held on Military Airfields in America, Curtis LeMay was friends with Sydney Allard and even owned an Allard J2, one of three team cars raced at Le Mans in 1953. In what may be the ultimate irony, LeMay was forbidden from racing his Allard, as the Air Force's chief of staff viewed racing as unnecessarily dangerous for a man in LeMay's position; instead, the car was campaigned by SCCA president Fred Wacker at an Offutt Air Force Base event, then later raced for LeMay by Roy Scott. While turning over driving duties may not have proven that SAC drivers were every bit as talented as those from the SCCA, LeMay's original goal, it did go a long way to demonstrate that the SCCA and the SAC were more than just partners of necessity.
Ultimately, the relationship proved beneficial to both parties. Income from ticket sales, concessions, program sales and other fees went directly to the Airman's Living Improvement Fund, while the SCCA prospered during the years it raced at SAC facilities. By the mid-1950s, however, the success of the SAC program caught the attention of LeMay's critics in Washington, D.C., and allegations of misuse of funds were raised (though later proven false). It was enough to end the program, but by that time the SCCA had an established network of dedicated road courses at its disposal.
For his efforts on behalf of American sports car racing, LeMay was awarded the Woolf Barnato Award, the SCCA's highest honor, in 1954. In 2007, he was inducted (posthumously) into the SCCA's Hall of Fame.
The King in Can-Am? Hemi-powered McKee Mk. V Sports Racer heads to auction

In 1965, Richard Petty found himself on the sidelines of NASCAR's Grand National series, a victim of the sanctioning body's (temporary) ban on Chrysler's Hemi V-8 engines. Eager to explore other racing options, Petty struck up a conversation with race car builder Bob McKee, who accepted a project to build The King a Can-Am car, powered by a Hemi V-8. By the time said car was completed, the NASCAR Hemi ban had been lifted and Petty was once again at the top of his stock car game; still, the 1965 McKee Mk. V Sports Racer that will cross the stage during Russo and Steele's Scottsdale auction raises the question, "What if things had worked out differently that year?"
When completed, the Hemi-powered McKee boasted about 600 horsepower, in a package that weighed in at just over 1,600 pounds dry and sat on a 96-inch wheelbase. Such a race car does not forgive many mistakes, so Chrysler's director of racing, Ronnie Householder, connected fighter-pilot-turned-roadracer Bob Montana with McKee. The fact that Montana also owned a successful and performance-oriented Chrysler-Plymouth dealership in Phoenix, Arizona (which regularly played host to the Ramchargers drag racing team), probably didn't hurt either.
Montana purchased the car from McKee in late 1965 and managed to quickly put up two SCCA class wins before the season ended. In 1966, he reportedly qualified fifth on the grid for the Los Angeles Times Grand Prix at Riverside, a race that also included star drivers such as Mario Andretti, Pedro Rodriguez, Phil Hill and A.J. Foyt. The car saw action in the Can-Am series as well, although its razor's-edge combination of short wheelbase, somewhat flexible tube frame chassis and massive horsepower made it a handful to drive with anything resembling consistency. By the end of the 1967 season, the rise of monocoque-chassis race cars from constructors like McLaren and Lola made the McKee obsolete in the Can-Am series, and Montana reportedly retired the car from Can-Am competition in 1968. It was still competitive in the SCCA, however, and Montana continued to race the Mk. V in SCCA competition until 1969.

In 1971, Montana, his wife, and two sons were killed in a plane crash, and the McKee became the property of his son-in-law, who'd also inherited Montana's dealership, Town & Country Chrysler Plymouth. Though not much is known about the car in these years, the original Hemi V-8 was pulled out and replaced with a 440-cu.in. V-8 to make the car a bit more docile for street use. There's no evidence the car was raced during these years, and in the early 1980s the McKee was sold to Phoenix attorney John Rasmussen and restoration specialist John James.
The ensuing rebirth took a little more than two decades to complete, with Rasmussen researching the car and James (working with McKee) doing much of the restorative work. Much care was taken to duplicate the car's original Hemi V-8 as closely as possible, and the 426-cu.in. V-8 wears the period-correct A-990 single-plug cylinder heads. The magnesium cross-ram intake manifold is an original Mopar part, and it's topped with a pair of Holley 3116 four-barrel carburetors; internals include a factory-original race camshaft, forged connecting rods, and a forged crankshaft.
The car's restoration was completed in 2004, and early appearances included the Mopar Nationals in Columbus, Ohio, and the Phoenix Historic Grand Prix in Phoenix, Arizona. Since then, the car has been invited to participate in the Goodwood Festival of Speed and the Monterey Historic Automobile Races, and has been displayed at the Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance. Russo and Steele's Scottsdale auction represents the first time the car has been offered for sale at auction.
Though Montana enjoyed some racing success with the Hemi-powered McKee Mk. V, he certainly lacked the resources of Richard Petty and Petty Enterprises. Had The King not returned to NASCAR in 1965, one can't help but wonder what he may have accomplished behind the wheel of the McKee Mk. V, or how his participation may have helped attract even more interest to the Can-Am series and American sports car racing.
Russo and Steele expects the McKee Mk. V to sell for between $275,000 and $375,000 when it crosses the stage. The Russo and Steele Scottsdale auction will take place January 15-19. For more information, visit RussoAndSteele.com.
Racing Heroes – Brian Redman

Name a competitive sports racing car of the late 1960s and early 1970s, and chances are good that Brian Redman drove it. His resume includes time behind the wheel of the Ford GT40, the Porsche 917 and 908, the Lola T70, various Chevrons and McLarens and the Ferrari 312, to name but a few. The English driver spent time in Formula 1 as well, taking a single podium finish at the 1968 Spanish Grand Prix, but walked away from F1 contract offers to focus on sports car racing. He quit the sport he loved no less than three times, each time convinced he could start a new life outside of the dangers of motorsport. Fortunately, his retirements never lasted long, and Redman himself once said of racing, "It was the only thing I ever did that I could do reasonably well."
Born in Burnley, Lancashire, England, in March of 1937, Redman got his start in motorsports in 1959, racing a Morris 1000 Traveller station wagon. From these humble beginnings, Redman next stepped up to compete in an Austin Mini Minor, a Jaguar XK 120 roadster and a Morgan Plus 4, cars that he also drove for his day job of manufacturing and delivering mop heads. By 1965 Redman was winning often enough in both open wheel and sports car series that he began to attract attention from companies like Ford, which first hired him to drive its GT40 at Spa in 1966 (though Redman had previously driven a Nick Cussons-owned Ford GT40 at Monza the same year).

By 1968, Redman had established himself as a member of the Ford team, which would go on to take the World Championship for manufacturers with its GT40. Like many drivers of his day, Redman raced the occasional F1 event as a hired gun, and in 1968 he piloted a Maserati-powered Cooper T81B at the South African Grand Prix, switching to a BRM-powered Cooper T86B at the next race in Spain. Redman finished third here, behind winner Graham Hill and second-place Denny Hulme, but it was to be his only podium finish in a Formula 1 race. At his next outing in Belgium, his Cooper suffered a suspension failure, trapping the driver's arm between a trackside barrier and the side of his car. The resulting compound fracture left him sidelined until late in the season, when he returned to sports car racing behind the wheel of a Chevron B8.
Despite suffering his first serious accident, Redman appeared none the worse for wear, and spent 1969 driving for Porsche alongside teammate Jo Siffert. Porsche would go on to take the Wold Championship for Makes that year, a feat the team would duplicate in 1970. Redman returned to F1 in 1970 as well, driving a few races for both the Rob Walker and Frank Williams teams as his schedule with Porsche allowed. He claimed the South African Springbok Championship that year as well, driving a Chevron B16 Spyder in a series that wrapped up in January of 1971. Racing at the sport's highest levels was beginning to take its toll, and Redman stepped away from the sport for the first time in early 1971, opting to run a BMW dealership in South Africa.
Redman's initial retirement didn't last long, and by March of 1971 he was back behind the wheel of a Surtees TS7 at the South African Grand Prix. He finished seventh in his only Grand Prix appearance of the year, then went to Europe to race Porsches for the Martini Racing Team, Chevrons for Red Rose Racing and McLarens for Sid Taylor Racing. While piloting a Porsche 908 for the JW Automotive Engineering Team in Italy's Targa Florio, Redman suffered his second significant racing crash when his steering failed. Unable to slow the car in time, the 908 hit a concrete barrier and burst into flame. Before he could get out of the car, Redman suffered burns to his face, neck, legs and hands, sidelining him for nearly three months.
Late in the year, Redman was hired to drive a single race at Kyalami, South Africa, for the Ferrari team. His victory with co-driver Clay Regazzoni earned him a full-time offer from Ferrari to race the 312 in 1972, and Redman helped to deliver a World Championship for manufacturers to Ferrari. He also returned to F1, driving a handful of races for the Yardley McLaren team and a single race for Marlboro BRM.

By 1974, Redman had relocated to the United States, where he was racing Lolas for Carl Haas in the F5000 series. He delivered championships to the team in 1974, 1975 and 1976, but split his time racing for various teams associated with BMW in sports car endurance racing. While practicing for the Can-Am race at Mont-Tremblant in June of 1977 (where he was once again driving for Carl Haas), Redman suffered the worst accident of his career. Cresting a rise at 170 MPH, his Lola T332 caught air and flipped, landing on its roll cage and body work. With no way to slow the car, Redman was merely along for the ride, watching and listening as the roll cage and his helmet ground away on the racing surface. At the edge of the track, the car's wheels dug in and flipped the car upright, allowing medical personnel quick access to the badly injured driver. Redman had stopped breathing by the time help arrived, but was quickly resuscitated by first responders. Though still alive, the accident took a heavy toll, leaving Redman with a broken neck, a shattered shoulder, a cracked breastbone and two broken ribs. It affected his eyesight as well, leaving the English driver with serious vision problems that would potentially end his racing career.
For months, it was unclear if a return to racing would even be possible, and Redman began to consider the prospects of a forced retirement. He and his family downsized, selling assets to pay the bills until Redman could find another career path, one that didn't involve the risk of a fatal accident. Ultimately, Redman's passion for the sport (and his ability to heal) led him back to the track, and on March 18, 1978, less than a year after his potentially career-ending crash, Redman piloted a Dick Barbour Performance Porsche 935 to victory in the 12 Hours of Sebring, with co-drivers Charles Mendez and Bob Garretson.
Redman continued his success behind the wheel, capturing the 1981 IMSA Camel GT Championship, and winning a multitude of sports car races in a variety of series. He raced professionally through the 1989 season, finally "retiring" for good at the age of 52. Though he no longer races for a paycheck, Redman is a frequent sight at vintage and historic races, as well as a regular participant at the annual Goodwood Festival of Speed.
Pomona, California, 1960
From the cover of the SCCA's March 1961 Pomona race program (and via Jim and Chester's Garage) comes this photo, presumably taken during the previous year's race season and presumably at Pomona. If that's the case, then looking up the numbers should make it fairly easy to identify some of the cars and the drivers taking off in this melee. What do you see here?

The smooth vibraphone riff and boom-bap percussion from Grand Puba's '95 single, I Like It (I Wanna Be Where You Are), becomes the backdrop for Jemyle's tightly-wound bars. The vocal-sampled hook, originally drawn from DeBarge's I Like It, is also retained. This Big Apple anthem isn't part of a larger set, but fans can, of course, keep their browsers locked for the latest from this promising up-and-comer.

National Grid Foundation and Athletics Team Up For the Hoops for the Stars Program
The Hoops for the Stars Program promotes success in inner-city elementary and middle schools in Providence, R.I.
Bob Simon begins his fourth season at Providence College and his ninth season with Head Coach Ed Cooley. Simon served as an assistant coach for his first three seasons at Providence before being promoted to Associate Head Coach in August 2014.
Simon worked for five seasons as an associate head coach for Ed Cooley at Fairfield. Simon helped lead the Stags resurgence as the team posted a 92-69 record (.571) overall and a 58-32 mark (.578) in MAAC action during his time at Fairfield. The 92 wins were the most ever at Fairfield over a five-year span. In 2009-10, the team reached the post season after recording a 23-11 record. It was the Stags' first post-season appearance since 2003. The following season, Fairfield reached new heights as the squad captured the MAAC regular-season title and advanced to the second round of the NIT. In advancing to the second round of the NIT, Fairfield won at Colorado State to earn the team's first NIT victory in almost 40 years. The 2011 Fairfield Stags registered a school-record 25 wins and finished second in the nation for scoring defense, allowing just 57.8 points per game. By recording a 25-8 record in 2011, the team posted consecutive seasons with 20 or more victories for the first time in the history of the program.
Prior to arriving at Fairfield, Simon spent six years at the University of Toledo, including three years as the associate head coach. The Rockets posted three 20-win seasons and captured two National Invitation Tournament berths (2001, 2004) during his time at Toledo. At Toledo, Simon's duties included scouting, coordinating an academic program, overseeing summer camps, and on-floor coaching. He was also the program's lead recruiter during his tenure. Simon began his collegiate coaching career at Wayne State University, spending nearly a decade with the Warriors. He coached the men's team for eight seasons - five seasons as an associate head coach and three seasons as an assistant coach. During this time, Wayne State posted eight straight winning seasons, and reached the Division II Final Four in 1993. The Warriors captured three conference titles and made four NCAA Tournament appearances, including three trips to the Sweet 16.
After eight seasons with the men's program, Simon accepted a new challenge when he became the head women's basketball coach at Wayne State. In his one season with the women's team, Simon turned the program around by posting 13 wins. The team earned a conference tournament berth for the second time in history.
Simon began his coaching career in the high school ranks where he gained 10 years of experience. He coached at Thurston High School in Redford, Mich., for six years and he was the varsity head coach for four years at Anderson High School in Southgate, Mich.
Simon received his bachelor's degree in manufacturing technology from Eastern Michigan University in 1989, and his master's degree in sports administration from Wayne State in 1997. Simon and his wife Donna have a daughter, Bobbie, and a son, Devin.
BIRTHDATE: February 26, 1963 FAMILY: Wife, Donna; Son, Devin (23); Daughter, Bobbie (25).
