This past weekend the American LeMans Series (ALMS) was at Elkhart Lake.  This form of racing in 1991 was called the International Motor Sports Associations (IMSA) Camel GT and it was big racing!

Camel cigarettes sponsored the series and some of the major car manufacturers were really into this form of racing in a big way.  Dan Gurney had the Toyota Eagles with Juan Manuel Fangio II in one car and P J Jones in the other.  Geoff Brabham and Chip Robinson were driving the Nissans  The Bud Light Jaguar of Davey Jones was amazing and Wayne Taylor in the Chevy Intrepid also tried to keep up the pace.

The days of Porsche winning everything by 1991 was done since Toyota, Nissan, Jaguar and Chevy were now racing with huge budgets.

Enjoy a few memorable photographs from the Nissan Grand Prix at Road America won by Davy Jones in his Jaguar on August 25, 1991.
