I was there at Marlboro when Roger Penske & Mark Donohue ran that exact Camaro and I have some photos that I took then. I was 15 years old and the youngest SCCA Member to ever be on the Flag & Communications team (at that time) I was so young in fact, that their insurance company wouldn't allow me to work on any of the flag stations so my only job was control recorder. I sat in the control tower on top of the grandstand, next to the F&C Steward and the Chief & Asst. Chief Race Stewards. I had to keep the race log which meant writing down the exact time when the Chief Steward called the commands, and all communications to and from the control tower and the stations. It was actually the first time I had ever seen a digital clock and I had to record the exact hour, minute and second that everything happened, every station number, every car number that was involved in a metal to metal or was leaking oil, every order that went from the stewards to the race personnel. I also was the one who picked up the phone that was a direct line to start/finish and told them when the chief steward said Green flag or checkered flag after car # whatever. The official race log that I produced was used any time there was a question or protest or complaint lodged and not one single person ever complained about the log being maintained by a 15 year-old girl. When I look back, it is amazing to me that they put so much trust in me. (My parents were both long time SCCA members and I practically grew up at the track.) Although I was very busy, I did occasionally get to take a break and watch the races and I usually tried to do that during the A & B Production, Sedan and Modifieds race because it was my favorite class. I loved the Corvettes, Ferraris, Lamborghinis and other big engine cars and was totally enamored of the Camaro when it first appeared. I bothered both Roger and Mark and was constantly trying to take pictures of them between races & practice sessions when I was able to go into the pits and couldn't understand why they were so secretive. (I do now) I also bothered Carroll Shelby when he was there but that's a story for another day. I loved this car in 1967 and I still love it today. I hope it sets another record, this time for the price it brings at auction.
