Jean-Pierre Beltoise and Henri Pescarolo drove this 3-liter V12 Matra MS650 at Daytona in 1970. In this photo the MG B of Chris Waldron and Lowell Lanier went a little too wide in turn three and looks like he might pass on the outside of the Matra.
The Matra finished 18th and the MG B finished in 21st place.

No problem Stephen. Just let me know what is involved.

You have some of the best photos that have ever been posted on the VRL.
Would you be interested in helping us build our archive ?
All the best - Stephen
Absolutely. I was a poor college student who couldn't afford a ticket to the race so I joined SCCA and became a licensed corner worker. I was Corner Captain on turn three which was also known as the International Horseshoe. When not on corner duty I pulled out the great SLR camera I got when I did a tour of duty in Vietnam and took pictures. I had a very limited budget for film and did not take a lot of photos like a pro would back then. BTW, note the fact that I was in the middle of the infield. Workers were assigned to that area and made it possible for me to get some great shots of the cars.
Were you there ?????
