Car info:
“Mark Donohue continued his early season dominance of major road races by winning the War Bonnet 250 at new Mannford, Oklahoma, a race in SCCA’s Trans-American Championship for Sports Sedan manufacturers. Donohue, driving a Camaro, gained 9 points for Chevrolet to stretch their lead in the championship to 7 points over Ford, 24 points to 17. Donohue won at 82.549 mph in the three-hour race. He had a 45 second margin over George Follmer driving a Javelin at the finish. The six points Follmer won for American Motors gave them a total of 8 in the championship. Horst Kwech took the under 2 litre class victory winning 9 points for Alfa Romeo. He had a race-long battle with Tony Adamowicz (Porsche 911) who finished second. The race was red flagged after Malcolm Starr went off course and into a fence. Two spectators suffered injuries, the most serious being a broken arm. It was restarted. Donohue, Follmer, Parnelli Jones (Mustang), Peter Revson (Javelin) and Jerry Titus (Mustang) had a series of battles for the leading spots that kept the crowd of 15,000 on its feet. Jones was forced to make an early, unscheduled pit stop that dropped him two laps he was never able to make up on the leaders. But he passed everyone else in a long chase that won third place just ahead of Revson.” |
