In reaching the landscaping phase in my track building I'm beginning to turn my attention to appropriate cars. I'm taken with the United States Road Racing Championship (USRRC), which ran from 1963 - 1968. It included Over 2 liter (O2) and Under 2 liter (U2) classes. It was the first openly professional series organized by the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) and paved the way for Can-Am, Trans-Am and Formula 5000.
Mike Martin has published a wonderful history of this series that was borne out of a struggle between the SCCA and USAC to control road racing in America, professional and amateur drivers, East and West coast followings, North American and European (and others) teams, front and rear engine racers, and the rise of the V-8 and unlimited displacement.
I'm on a hunt for 1/32 scale models of the cars that competed, particularly the privateer and one-off Specials that ran. I'm primarily interested in resin, fiberglass and injection molded bodies, but can include vacuformed bodies. Mike has been kind enough to share parts of his comprehensive database and I'm hoping to crowdsource information on makers from those amongst you that share interest in this era and series. Are people interested in sharing such information?
All assistance is greatly appreciated and my intention is to update the database on the Forum as I go as a reference for others. Thanks
Here is my first cut
