Rod Perry Photos

All photos are from the Art Dahlberg collection.

Bob Hamke and Rod Perry strike a pre race pose at the Palm Beach Fairgrounds Speedway, circa 1969-1970. This was right near the end of one of the most successful racing partnerships of all time. If memory serves me right, this was the first time out for the heavily revised 119 (it did not go real well...they burned a piston, a common ailment of turbo moters to this day). The very advanced homemade twin turbo-charged induction setup that Bob Hamke fabricated can be clearly seen here. Note the massive oil cooler, this was necessary due to the huge horsepower and heat generated by the turbos.
