BMW 2002's were the norm in the early years. By 1979 Mazda
RX-2's, RX-3's, and Renault's were ruling the roost. H07's
with the V6 engine had a strong showing from 1979-83.

1976 B.F. Goodrich Radial Challenge Series
After six years of faithful sponsorship of the series,
B.F.Goodrich was under threat from Goodyear for control of
the series. The former couldn't afford a costly tire war,
and bowed out after the June Mid-Ohio Race. The series was
re-named the IMSA Radial Series, thus creating two
champions from one series at year's end.

A Roadracing series for
American Sub-Compact cars such as Nova, Grand-Am, Cutlass,
Aspen, Maverick, Concord, etc.. Pony cars were also
welcomed(Camaro, Mustang). Both V6 and V8 engines could be
found on the grid. Tires were racing slicks. No body flares
were allowed, although wheel-well openig flares were ok.
The original sheet metal body panels had to be used. Gene
Felton Dominated the first four years of this series as
defending Champion. H07's were never a real threat in this
series, but they did have some respectable results.

1981 Kelly American Challenge
The "girl" name
is dropped, and the series would get a much needed boost in
larger prize purses and starting grids. Camaros would start
to dominate the series.
Pete Harrison would have a great season in 1981,
consistantly qualifying in the top ten and scoring three
top ten finishes by year's end.
