McRae GM-1 Formula 5000






McRae GM-1, Formula 5000
The most visible car at the “Thriller at Miller” had to be without question the 1973 McRae GM-1 driven by Ken Petrie. It is loud, fast and just about glows with its day glow orange paint. While not a pretty car it is very brutal in its appearance. In racing performance is more important than the beauty of its body. In this case a car that wins races is very beautiful to its owner and driver. The car was very well driven and was always in the lead by a long way.If this car comes to a track near you stop and take a good long look and find a corner as close to the track as you can and just enjoy the sight, sound and sensations as this cars blasts past.
