Ken Epsman -- 1976 Dekon Monza / Bruce Canepa -- 1979 Porsche 935 Interesting
photo: #12 Bruce Canepa came from this way-back starting position
to win the Group 4A final. #20 Ken Epsman also charged through
the pack to finish 3rd. Canepa must have passed Epsman somewhere
along the line, funny since I thought Epsman was faster and gaining on
Canepa. Times are interesting: Canepa's best lap was
1:33.207 Epsman's was 1:32.847 2nd place finisher Andre
Didier in the Greenwood Corvette's best lap was 1:35.346. In a
longer race Epsman would certainly have caught & passed Didier, and
may have caught Canepa. A classic race, with major drama for a
historic racing event.
