Footage from the Michigan Mustang (nee Masters Historic Pre 66 Touring Car) race from the perspective of the 1963 Studebaker Lark. This is the first time the car has been raced since we collected her from Germany. A head gasket failure didn’t stop us, thanks to the community. Epic fun in an entertaining beast.

You can get a steel shim head gasket to up the compression a bit.

Shame it's not a RHD car as per the thumbnail. Slightly better on a clock wise track too they say.

A '63 Lark was raced here in South Africa by Bernie Marriner in the production car series. Studebaker delivered the car with a R4 (supercharged) engine, but the ruling body nixed it. He therefore ran with an R3 (twin four barrel carbs and special cam) engine which he used to good effect, usually leading until running out of brakes and slowing...that car was found in Zimbabwe and now belongs (unrestored) to Willie Hepburn.

Thanks for sharing, if you know of any period footage you can share a link, that would be great

We experienced the brake issue at Silverstone

I think you have the R3 and R4 reversed. The R3 was supercharged, the R4 was a non-supercharged high performance variation of the R1.

@@saabyurk You are probably right, been years since I read up on them! Typical Studebaker to give the lower horsepower engine the higher number.

The first photo is from an Australian track in the early sixties. Studebaker cars widely raced in Australia back then as the most affordable locally assembled V8 car.

@johnd8892 Thanks John, it was the only 'period' picture I could find of a Studebaker racing. If you have any links I'd love to see them

@@tristec Glad you found my comments interesting. Hope this link to the history works , with the racing history, of the Lark in Australia : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SHHTPLw-oNM.htmlsi=LDx5zQ49pJIezcV2 At the end a reference to the photo archive Shannon's Club TV use in the 160 episodes of this series covering cars that had a significant motorsport and road history in Australia. Studebaker racing mainly in the showroom stock endurance races, such as Bathurst, that captured public interest as a measure of relevance to what was available in showrooms at near affordable prices for the above average buyer then. Although your photo with the J after the car number means it was running in the appendix J class shorter races that allowed extreme modifications. More film links coming from the Bathurst races. Phillip Island races a bit early for movie film to be kept.
