Firebird

Waiting for my turn on the track at Bridgehampton.  SCCA A Stock class. All original equipment.

Bridgehampton Race Circuit was a 2.85 mile, 13 turn road course located near Sag Harbor, on Long Island in New York State. The historic track has now largely been converted to golf course. There is still an effort underway to try and restore the track, but success seems unlikely.

1967 Pontiac Firebird, 350 cubic engine, black motorized convertible top, black vinyl interior.  The side marker lights (Pontiac logo) were not standard until 1968 but were included in a few late 1967 models such as this one.  There was a major body style change in late 1968.

This was my first car.  I purchased it after I returned from working for my Father (Twombly, Inc.) at the Jobos Puerto Rico powerplant installation.  Two Hitachi Frame Five gas turbines.  I ran many autocrosses and did my first racing at Bridgehampton (photo above), Lime Rock, and countless parking lot autocrosses.

I sold the car when it would no longer pass New Jersey State Inspections.
