The Guldstrand R&D shop was a beehive of activity in preparation for the 1968 Daytona 24 hour race
The spare "promotional" car was titled and street driven. It was to be used for spares for the #44
and #45 car. Restoration is currently under way to return the car to the state it was in this photo


Enthusiasm was high during the preparation of these cars for Daytona

James Garner with Bob Wingate. Wingate was instrumental in pulling this L88 Corvette deal together

Traco was the shop next door that prepared the motors for the 3 cars. Dave Herlinger still has one of them!

Racing tales in the making.

The happy group around Bob Wingate's aluminum head L89 fire breathing street car

After the Daytona race a special appearance by James Garner and 2 of the cars was held at Clippinger's

A good sized crowd including beauty queens turned out to see James Garner and the cars

The Clippinger showroom with someone making a fashion statement

[h=3]Current photo's of the #44 and #45 car by Dave Herlinger and his brother Jim
Dave performed a brilliant restoration of the #44 car and Guldstrand returned to race it

Back in 2000 when I was taping this off t.v. , I mistakenly cut the last minute or so off, which abruptly ended the show - could have strangled myself.! Aughhhhh . Who Is The Tall Dark Stranger There? FROM MAVERICK TO ROCKFORD, WITH JULIE ANDREWS, SALLY FIELD, GENA ROWLANDS, AND MARIETTE .

I absolutely loved this film when I was a kid; I was racing crazy. I raced everything, me, bikes, slot cars, speed was my main focus. Back then, I knew it was a movie, and thought that all the people in it were actors. It was only when I got older, and saw the drivers meeting in the film, seeing REAL F1 drivers in it that I realized just how close to reality a lot of it was. The first one I spotted was Dan Gurney. Then I had to wind it back to check out all the others, and began looking through the film with a more attentive eye to see what other real life F1 participants were in it. The only thing? I remember reading that the actors didn't drive actual F1 cars; they were F2 cars, but similar enough that unless you looked very carefully, you couldn't tell the difference, especially with how quick the scenes in the movie passed by. Now I have to go and watch it again.
