1961 PROGRAM

1962 PROGRAM the organizers just made the cover red.

1963 PROGRAM. Why change a good thing? A black cover

The Dunkirk airport circuit was very basic, to say the least.

The EP field lines up behind two BARC twincams. Bob Poupard and Ted Rounds.

The flag drops as Wilson’s #38 Sebring twin cam starts ahead of Ted Rounds in #175 and Fred Reynolds #117 pushrod car.

Ted Rounds coming in off the course, visor up.

Bob Poupard in his twincam, Poupard would sell the car to Hugh Francis and campaign a MKII MGA in 1962.

BARC racer Ted Rounds chases BARC racer Bob Poupard, both in MGA twin cams. The results are lost but we know both Rounds and Poupard won trophies.

Rounds zips past the ever present hay bales that marked the boundaries of the track.

Buffalo’s Art Smith in his pushrod FP MGA. Artie was a good guy along with so many from western NY.

Another good guy and ski instructor Karl Bergmann in his twincam with a pushrod engine.

The Rebel Bobby Poupard about to gobble up the TD MG of C. Fela from Akron.

C.Henry from nearby Bellevue, OH in his very fast TC won HP beating all the Sprites

The soon-to-be-famous arms merchant Sarkis pushes his ill prepared Alfa back to the pits.

An HP race between #20 Sprite of Harold Cunningham and the #4 MG TD driven by F. Steger.

A very fuzzy photo of Herb Swann’s Porsche RS-60 racing Don Yenko’s BP Corvette. They battled the whole race with Swann finally winning.

Archie Means, a friend who was a lumber dealer in Sheffield, PA in his 200S Maserati.

BARC hard charger Don Yenko in the Grady Davis Corvette

Nicholas strolls across the Shorewood Country Club which hosted the awards. Tierno practiced his putting and Caroline Bergmann fell into the swimming pool.

BARC & Cornell professor Ed Shantz warms up his Formula Vee. Shantz was a brilliant yet very down to earth man.

Gary Morgan and his father built a few HM specials. This one is a Morgan-Abarth and it was quick.

The old and the new (in 1963) J. Lawrence in his Sprite chases the MG TC of Dave Stewart.

Bob Poupard is back but this time with his 1600 MkII in FP rather than his nearly identical twincam

Dave Adams from Trucksville in his winning right hand drive TR3. Adams would later create a Lotus 9 with an Alfa engine and named it the LoFa.

BARC driver D. Charles Stell was always after Poupard. They were good friends but fierce competitors.

Good friend indeed. Charley Stell helps Bob Poupard with his rear brakes.

Chuck Dietrich in Gerry Mong’s new SR-3 Bobsy. Mong was a happy go-lucky guy whose passion was building fast small bore cars.

Dietrich takes the inside line in passing Bob Sinn’s Corvette.

The Rebel from Americus, GA Bob Poupard, at one time the President of the BARC bleeds brakes on his MG.

The grid is being set with Poupard on the front row. 1963 would be the final year for Poupard in his iris blue MGA’s.

Poupard blurs past another MGA on his way to the podium.

Bob is lapping Morris Blair’s MG. After 3 years racing at Dunkirk, Poupard knew it well.

Fighting for the lead with Charely Redmond’s TR-3 Poupard goes hard and kicks up some dust on the exit of the last corner.

Farther back in the field Karl Bergmann (76) and Art Smith, both part of the Ecurie Pip team, fight it out.

One of our favorites, Doc George Voigt in his Porsche. Doctor Voigt was a flagman at Watkins Glen and other tracks as well as an avid Porsche racer and rallye participant.

The late, great Charlie Kurtz. Charlie was a true big brother to us and an SCCA champion driver. This weekend he brought his Porsche RS-60 and dominated.

Lovely Sandra Kurtz was a much a big sister to us as Charley was a big brother. A very accomplished painter, her works are highly sought after today.

Charley and Sandra are headed somewhere. #57 was Kurtz’ BARC number.

The RS-60 turns hard into one of Dunkirks flat turns.

The Porsche, with its distinctive 4 cam engine sound, was a joy to hear as well as watch.

Another shot of Charley at work. Probably more like play in the Porsche.

Doug Jones in his first season of racing in a green Sprite. Doug was from Otego, NY just 50 miles from the BARCboys home town.

Doug Jones bugeye Sprite, part of team Otego.

Lowell Mott’s MG midget was the GP member of Team Otego.

An unidentified Sunbeam Alpine. The car was a late entry and is not on the published list.
