With so many photos of the 1991 IMSA race weekend in my catalog, we need to look at a few more!
Instead of looking at them as race cars though, look at them as pieces of art.
The artwork on these cars is amazing. That is until they crash and end up as broken pieces in the back of a pickup truck, as we see with one of the Jaguars in my very last photo here!
The canvas of the bodywork with all of the wings and winglets must be difficult to paint.
So today, look at these cars in a different way, and enjoy the artwork.
Thanks,

Well, the 100th Indy 500 is coming up on us soon!
So until then, my blogs will be on racing of some form, and today it's IMSA, 1991, at Road America in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin.
Seems so long ago, because in my photos here, we have Robby Gordon in a Ford Mustang! He raced that before he was into an Indy car!!
It was a nice weekend because you had IMSA and Indy car, CART, in the same weekend! I show you Rick Mears and Bobby Rahal here and A.J. Foyt's nice pit vehicle!
We have Davy Jones in the very competitive Bud Light Racing Jaguar, and Wayne Taylor in the Chevy Intrepid.
The owner of Momo wheels, Mr. Momo himself, G. Moretti was racing a beautiful red Momo Porsche. Mazda was breathing fire at every turn it seemed and the Toyota's of P.J. Jones and Juan Manuel Fangio Jr. were very dominant in every race.
These were good times of racing and Road America looks great without all that now present fencing!
Enjoy the look back!
Thanks,
Rich Zimmermann
