, found some more pics. I’m not sure if I sent them to you already.
Nevertheless here is some “analog” pics circa the big 80’s. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) Pocono Raceway.



First pic from Dion's post looks like it shows Doug Arnao's Fiero-based 914 and possibly the Altman 911. Nice!

It could be the Altman 911. I co drove with them there. If that's the year the monsoon hit the track about 3/4 thru the race. You couldn't see more than 3 feet in front of you. They did have some brown trim on the car but I don't specifically remember along the side. Oh well....the memory does fade after a while

Jay Kjoller related to me:

When Pontiac came out with the Fiero, part of the marketing strategy was to get privateers to build their own Fiero racers and to that end the factory developed a race chassis and made the blueprints available to anyone who wanted to buy them for a very reasonable price. The Altman brothers figured they could take the Fiero drawings and adapt it to the 914 body. Mark and Gary were pretty good chassis builders and mechanics but they weren't engineers and a direct copy of Fiero to 914 didn't work. Jay crewed for them at the Sebring race and he seemed to remember there being a discussion with a real racecar engineer who was pointing out all the ways the Fiero design didn't work on their car: things like roll centers, camber curves, etc.
Sometime after IMSA banned the 914 from competition Jay was talking to Gary and Jay asked what they were going to do with their car and he told Jay they had a buyer from Central America and that's the last he heard of it.

Randomly ran across this pic of the Jones/Apgar car, reportedly from Road Atlanta around 1985. Looks like Bruce Jones livery here.

Since it's relevant to this thread, I wanted to share the latest rendering I did of the #59 Brumos car piloted by Gregg/Haywood.

Thanks! yes, I did the full CAD model as well as materials and image rendering. Been an ongoing project that I've built several skills with over the last several years. It is a surface model, intended for rendering, so no 3D printing before anyone asks. haha
