Hello Forum!

First of all, thanks for being here......I am tracing a "photo" of #68, Charlie in the 60/70's in his Lotus 23.  A fellow racer sent me this hint, so big thanks to Myles!!  I saw that there is a photo of Charlie, supposed to show on track in P1 or P2.

If you can check this out, it would be of great help!

thanks,

Rick, the most likely person here to locate such a photo is Jerry Entin...

But it might be helpful if you give us some idea where Charlie raced.

According to his Racing Sports Cars listing he raced mainly in California with the occasional foray eastward, a couple as far as Daytona. They haven't yet found any photos either. He used #68 fairly regularly, so we can't pin the event down that way. I'm amused at the name of his entrant for some of his races - SODOM (Society of Dirty Old Men):

Check out this earlier thread - he's identified in one of the photos:

Not the photo you're looking for, but here he is following an interesting group:

I saw Charlie Kuhlman (I think the proper spelling of his last name is with one "n") race many times at Riverside and other southern California tracks in sports racers.  At least up thru the 1980's and 90's, I think.

 

You could post your questions on the SCCA Southern Pacific division websites, like:  http://www.sccaforum...m/forums/aff/43

Rick, have you been in touch with Kulmann? (which I think must the correct spelling...I can't find it spelled any other way in programs, etc.)  Does he live in Vacaville now?

 

I found at least six photos of him at the 1967 Las Vegas USRRC at this seven-page link

Some good ones among those...

Even a pit stop.
