Piet

Welcome to TNF :wave:

The SCCA Profesional Yearbook gives all the points scorers in each season, so anyone who finished in the Top 6 in 1971, the Top 10 1972-1979, the Top 12 1980-1981 and the Top 15 thereafter. I have the Yearbook for 1984 which gives those tables for every season from 1971 (note 71, not 72) up to 1983.

Are those helpful, or do you want all starters and all qualifying times?

Allen

Sure Bobbo many of them are quite familiar....:)

Even Greger Kronegård seems to have dabbled with Super Vee's in US. And he did pretty darn well too...:)

Bertil Roos I knew did well in various US based series...

How did Ray Heppenstall end up in Super Vee's in 1971?
He was driving the Howmet TX turbine car during the late 1960s.

More Swedish drivers high on the 1974 table, Bror Jaktlund (more famous for his engine preparation) and Graf Freddy Kottulinsky.

And someone called Keke Rosburg raced in '75.

Also spotted Reeves Callaway in '74, a backmarker it seems. Better off with his SuperNatural Vette's.

Dunno about that, but some of 'em look a bit silly:

Earl Nicewarner? :lol: Tom Pumpelty? :lol: Bob Wheelock? :lol:

And did National Lampoon sponsor Stephen Griswold? :)

Actually it is Tom Pumpelly and he did fairly well in Atlantics too along
with Howdy Holmes, Bobby Rahal and some of the others. Howdy Holmes also
qualified second fastest at Indy in '83 or '84 next to his teammate, Tom
Sneva. Herm Johnson also ran Indy for about six years in the '80s until
he had a career ending accident. He is now one of the premier helmet painters in the US. He does most of the Indy field and a lot of NASCAR
guys too.

Opps! Bob Lazier was rookie of the year at Indy and has produced two sons who are now regulars on the IRL, etc.

John Morton, EFR, John O'Steen and Hurley Haywood all did well in various Sportscars.

Must have been quite an adjustment from the +1000HP CanAm Porsche to a Super Vee in '76 for George Follmer...

And Bob Williams coming down from nearly winning the 1969 F1 World Title...;)

I think Jerry Jolly raced NASCAR for a while - and Bill Scott - is this the same as Billy Scott who had a few Champcar races in the mid 70s?

Tom Pumpelly and Bill Scott never ran Indy. Tom did do a few Daytona 24-hr
races and ran a season in the Ford Probe for Bill Scott former partner, Tom Milner. Bill Scott to my knowledge never did anything else after he stopped
racing FSV. He was the Royale distributor for years, but I don't remember exactly when or why he stopped racing. Currently, he owns Summit Point Raceway in WVA and its driving school.

He is definitely a swede, but his title is German! Graf von some German fairy tale country.
And he did most of his later career in Germany, for German and Austrian teams. At some stage of his career he also had a Finnish license.

Freddy was quite a versatile driver, did rallying for VW/Audi, desert-raiding for Volkswagen (won the Dakar in '79 with an Iltis), and all kinds of singleseaters up to Formula Two. Even ran a 200 quattro in DTM in '86.

His daughter Susanne also did rallying for Volvo and Audi.

'scuse me sir, but I think you're wrong! Afaik, Freddy Kottulinsky has always been German, Bavarian to be precise. Maybe he had dual citizenship later in his life, I don't know. He certainly raced with a Swedish licence, but he was born and raised in Germany. His daughter, Susanne, is Swedish, though.

That should be the Eifelrennen in 1977, and Fritz Lochmann's Ralt/BMW RT1.

Good thing you aren't looking at the F5000 results and Roger Bighouse :D

Bob Wheelock raced various types of cars and was a former pro football (gridiron) player with the Detroit Lions.

Someone asked about Bill Scott. This is Virginia's Bill Scott, the Indy 500 Billy "The Kid" Scott was from San Bernardino, California and raced motorcycles with Swede Savage before embarking on a four wheel career that saw him drive in just about every form of racing.

:blush:
You are right Michael!
And now I remember, I read somewhere it was some problems in 1963, -64 about Freddy getting points in Swedish FJ/F3 championship. The Swedish federation did not know which citizenship he had, and Freddy himself claimed dual nationality.

More Indy drivers - Phil Krueger (see another thread), Dale Coyne, Mike Chandler (son of Los Angeles Times (?) owner and ex-driver of the Indycar Ligier), Dennis Firestone (who qualified for but had to withdraw from Indy in 1986 because of a warm-up crash - allowing the 1st alternate to start, our old frined Dick Simon!), Pete Halsmer, Dale Whittington (also on another thread) and of course Geoff Brabham.

Billy Scott in 1977 - is this the Kid or the Virginia Kid? :confused:

Guenther Gebhardt - the future Group C2 constructor?

I'm having trouble with the 1972 results: Firstly, both DeMeritt (I love that name) and Nicewarner are credited with 10th place at the Glen, and then both Nicewarner and Campbell with 9th at Road Atlanta. I suppose Nicewarner's results are reversed, but can someone verify?

Then, EFR and Fren (I suppose that's ole Freddy) van Beuren are credited with the same results at Road Atlanta (7th), Elkhart Lake (14th) and Lime Rock (5th), but the third place finisher at Elkhart Lake is omitted. Again, I can only surmise that EFR finished 3rd at Elkhart Lake which would equal the points for one 5th and one seventh. Anyone?

First instalment of European series results: In 1971, Super Vee was introduced in Europe, and since there was already an "Europapokal" (Eurocup) for Formula Vee, the FVE (Formula Vee Europe) association created the "Goldpokal" (Goldcup), along with a Constructors Cup. I have never been able to verify this, but I believe the sanctioning body was the German AvD (Automobilklub von Deutschland), with the rival ADAC (Allgemeiner Deutscher Automobil Club) sanctioning a Formula 3 Trophy.

There were 10 qualifying rounds, with the best seven scores of each driver to determine the champion. Apparently, there were no dropped scores for the constructors. Since road racing was banned in Switzerland, a hill-climb at the Gurnigel was part of the championship for a couple of years.

R1 - Thruxton, Apr 12
R2 - Zolder, Apr 18
R3 - Nürburgring, Aug 1
R4 - Mantorp Park, Aug 8
R5 - Keimola, Aug 22
R6 - Gurnigel, Sep 12 (?)
R7 - Zandvoort, Sep 26
R8 - Hockenheim, Oct 3
R10 - Montlhéry, Oct 10
(some dates may not be totally correct, but at least the weekend should be right - Gurnigel's is a guess, though!)

I have seen different scores for Breinsberg and Kronegård, and for all the leading constructors, though!

That year, a second championship was added, the "Trophäe" (Trophy), sponsored by Castrol. It was mainly contested in Germany and therefore constituted some sort of International German Championship. Most of the dates are unknown, and one points score also (spot it! :D)

Thanks for the tables Allen and Michael, these FSV results are something I've always wanted to know more about :up:
Some well known names too in the Euro series ! And some "racing daddies" : aren't the Menzel, Henzler and Schmickler the fathers of Christian, Wolf and Frank ?
About the 9th place at the 1972 Salzburg race of the Trophy do you think there was a disqualification "à la Hill au GP de l'ACF 1963" behind it ?

Don't know about Menzel and Schmickler, but I'm pretty sure Helmut is the dad of Wolf Henzler, or at least an uncle; they look quite alike. And no, I rather don't think they "did a Hill" at Salzburg, more probably just a glitch in my source.

Some interesting names also in the 1974 SCCA Championship: Ed Mulford and Chris Gleason - sons? Or, rather grandsons... :D And what's that at Laguna Seca:
12th Peter Moodie
13th Peter Moody
:eek: :drunk: :stoned:

Some interesting names also in the 1974 SCCA Championship: Ed Mulford and Chris Gleason - sons? Or, rather grandsons... :D And what's that at Laguna Seca:
12th Peter Moodie
13th Peter Moody
:eek: :drunk: :stoned:


fines, he almost always was listed as "Moodie" in the results in U.S. publications.

I wondered the same thing about Mulford. If he was, he would have to have been a grandson of Ralph.

Gleason, I wouldn't think he was related. Reasonably common name, but you never know!.

Thanks for posting the European FSV tables, and thanks Allen for the U.S. FSV tables :up:

Hi Kris

Michael Andreti's bio note that he raced in three super vee events in 1981 -
I've seen an STP pic taken in Michigan that show Mario in a CART car with Michael in a Super Vee with the same look.
Can someone tell me what were the three races in 1981 and the results Mike earned in those races, certainly not in the top 12 as he isn't shown scoring any points in the SCCA Yearbooks scans from Allen.

Allen, could there be a page or two about the 1980 and 1981 SCCA Formula Ford season in the yearbooks- If so , could you please post some scans -

Making a research for every races Michael and John Andretti entered in their prime years (1980-1983 for Mike and 1980-1987 for John), I'm trying to find everything on their career in SCCA which covered Formula Ford and Super Vee at the time but I didn't find a website or any results for those years in Formula Ford-

I made this thread regarding Formula Ford : SCCA Formula Ford

From the book “Road America, five decades of racing at Elkhart Lake” - 1982 Super Vee comment

The last weekend in July all the SCCA’s pro series congregated at R.A.- Saturday held round five of the Bosch / VW Super Vee championship. Ed Pimm, driving a Red Roof Inns Ralt RT5 for Jim Trueman, qualified on the pole and was the race’s initial pacesitter. His cause was aided on the first lap when Mike Rosen made a vastly overenthusiastic passing attempt on Michael Andretti, taking both off. Andretti, who had won the first two rounds of the season, regained the track, but in twelth place. Pimm was steadily increasing his lead, trailed by Davy Jones and Peter Moodie. The 18 year old Jones had just become eligible for US racing, having driven previously in Canada. Moodie was in an Anson SA3C, a new English chassis that was making its US debut. The car was entered by engine builder Bertil Sollenskog, who had previously run a Ralt. Unfortunately for Pimm, his romp at the front ended with a failing gearbox. His pace slowed, and Moodie, Jones, and a recovering Andretti passed, relegating Ed to fourth. Moodie took the win, a sparkling first time out triumph for Anson. Andretti’s third put him back into first in points, a position he was to hold the rest of the season, notching six wins enroute to the tittle.

Michael Andretti (STP Ralt RT5) was classified 20th at Michigan (20 Sept 1981). He was up with the front runners, and even led for 7 laps, before retiring with fuel pump problems near the end of the race.

At Riverside (4 Oct ) he was classified 18th after retiring with an overheating engine following a minor collision with Arie Lyyendyk (March 81V).

Finally at Phoenix ( 8 Nov ) Mike was classified 16th. He retired after hitting the wall and breaking a wheel whilst engaged in a race for 3rd place with Cicconi. Here the entrant was given, JLP Racing STP.

Hope this helps. (Reports in NSSN)
