Does anyone have programmes for the races at Sebring in the 1980s? I'm specifically looking for the entry lists of the 1981 and 1986 vintage races, which were presumably held as support events for the 12 hour feature, but other years from that period are welcome too. Main interest: the Porsche of Steve Cohen and Tom Congleton.

I have the 1980's program and entry list. Steve Cohen entered his 907 Spyder. Tom Congleton is not listed.

I have photos of Cohen in the Porsche 907 Spyder and shots of the Congeltons in various cars from the Road America Historics of the 1982-85 period.

Hmmm...the only thing I remember about the '86 race is that Stuck would go by and you couldn't stick a newspaper between the cars, and Bell was a gentleman about it.

URY914, what year are you referring to? What start number did Cohen have? I know he was at Sebring in 1981, while Congleton was there in 1986, but they probably raced at Sebring in other years as well.

Tom, I'd be very interested in these photos! Could you post them here (or alternatively send them via e-mail)?

I'm referring to 1980. His car was # 7xxx and was painted Gulf blue and orange. I may have a photo of it.

Thanks, URY914. If you google a bit you'll find a photo of the car with start number 7 at Sebring, that must be 1980 then (the caption says 1981). Other photos of course appreciated.

Or he was there in '80 and '81.
