After a three-year absence from the SCCA’s Formula 5000 series,
1969 champion Tony “A to Z" Adamowicz is returning, campaigning a
Lola for Roy Woods Racing. The veteran driver has proved to be
champion material in all forms of competition and all types of machines.
An FIA-graded driver, Adamowicz placed second in class at the 1972
24 Hours of LeMans. In 1971, he placed second at Daytona’s 24 Hours
and third at LeMans. This year(1974), he placed sixth in class at
Daytona. His impressive record book dates back to his first year of
racing, 1963, when he won his first race. In 1965, he won the Northeast
Division regional championship in a B sedan Volvo; the next year, he
drove a Dodge Dart to victory at the Marlboro 12-Hour Trans-Am event.
Adamowicz devoted his track time to SCCA club races, successfully, in
1967, and in ‘68 dominated the under-2 liter Trans-Am series, winning
six of the 10 races
