Bernie Kretzschmar - 8mm Tape - Sebring 1966
« on: November 10, 2021, 01:08:19 PM »
Here is a video I just converted from VHS to digital and then uploaded it to Youtube for you to view.  :-)  This came from the collection of the late Hans Pedersen via Craig Johnson and Rick Kopec before Hans.

This tape said "Kretzschmar Sebring 1966" on the label.   The quality isn't perfect and it is short, but still fun to see inside the Shelby American pits of Sebring.  Also take note of Bernie's very cool 1932 Ford roadster at the end.  There are stories about that car and it's tires that hopefully someone can fill us in on.  I believe he still owns the car and the tires are still on it today.

Enjoy:  https://youtu.be/vsKx2Ys31yo
