Congratulations on a hard won battle. This is good stuff, historical stuff, makes owning the breed just that much more enjoyable.

Paul that is just awesome! Fabulous work. Now, how about locating a lot of the races on DVDs too? I know a ton of people who would pay for them, I know I certainly would!

Um, that would be kinda hard - the DVD wasn't around back in '87.

Kids these days - they'll never understand "Beta vs. VHS" or "stereophonic vs. mono."

Sorry, couldn't resist...

PS: Oh, and congrats on your quest!

Other problem with finding pics and videos of any of the races - only two of the 9 US Turbo Cups were campaigned in the 87 SCCA Escort Endurance Championship races. So you would basically see a lot of Corvettes driving around.

See pic of an '87 Escort pace lap below: The SN#104 US Cup car (Rick Hurst's #44) is in the 4th row, right side.

All 9 should try to be at the Rennsport Reunion next year for running and photos! Also, try to get all 4 968 Turbo RS's there, but I think one is overseas, 2 in the states( LA and TX), one in Canada????
