For its fourteenth year of celebrating Legends of Motorsport, the Petersen Automotive Museum, along with the Checkered Flag 200 Group, will present a \u201cTribute to George Follmer\u201d program to be held at the Petersen Museum in Los Angeles on Thursday, November 8, 2012 beginning with cocktails at 6:00 p.m. The evening\u2019s festivities will include a gallery display of George Follmer-centric race cars and memorabilia generously supported by eminent collectors.<\/p>\n

The tribute will brim with stories about George. Forty years ago, Trans-Am Champion Follmer, subbing for Mark Donahue, was under pressure going into Mid-Ohio\u2019s Can-Am race to drive Roger Penske\u2019s 5.4-liter twin-turbo Porsche 917\/10, while the car\u2019s L&M sponsor coined a promotional button \u201cLet George Do It!\u201d The mantra stuck and fan fervor soared. Follmer drove the bristly 917, heeding team boss Penske\u2019s pit signal to keep going in his lead while others pitted for rain tires. Follmer won the race, inspiring media scribes to brand him \u201cGeorge Am.\u201d He finished out 1972 as series champion in Trans-Am and Can-Am\u2014the only driver to win both series titles in the same year.<\/p>\n

Another accolade came Follmer\u2019s way in \u201872, and remains very special to him. The American Auto Racing Writers & Broadcasters Association\u2019s Jerry Titus Memorial Award honored George Follmer as \u201cDriver of the Year.\u201d Also, in August of \u201972 he simultaneously held Mid-Ohio\u2019s qualifying records for three major racing series\u2014Can-Am, Trans-Am, and Continental F5000. Follmer would also later win the Trans-Am title for a second time in 1976 driving Vasek Polak\u2019s sizzling Porsche 934 Turbo.<\/p>\n

At age 39, George was then the oldest driver to start an F1 race \u2014 it was 1973 at Kyalami, South Africa, where he finished in sixth place, a points-earning position in his very first Grand Prix start. Teamed with Jackie Oliver in Don Nichols\u2019 menacingly black DN1 Shadows, George\u2019s next F1 race in the UOP car was on the challenging Montjuich hill circuit in Barcelona where Follmer, finishing third, stood on the Spanish GP podium alongside winner Emerson Fittipaldi and second place Franc?ois Cevert.<\/p>\n

There is so much in George Follmer\u2019s racing career that it seems there had to be two, or maybe three, Georges \u2014 not just the one and only. Filling his driving\u2019s three decades were Trans-Am, Can-Am, NASCAR, Champ Car, Continental F5000, the Indy 500, IMSA, IROC, FIA Makes, Bosch Super Vee, SCCA Escort Endurance Showroom Trucks, top qualifier in Fast Masters\u2019 Jaguar XJ220, and the enduros at Sebring, Daytona and Le Mans. He\u2019s in the Motorsports Hall of Fame, and on The Walk of Fame at Watkins Glen.<\/p>\n

Of his upcoming tribute night at the Petersen, Follmer says, \u201cI would like it to be a good time for everybody, because there aren\u2019t too many times at this point in our lives that we\u2019re all going to be together.\u201d Follmer himself was lucky to survive a horrendous crash during qualifying for Laguna Seca\u2019s Can-Am race in 1978, and George will tell about it.<\/p>\n

Says Parnelli Jones, Follmer\u2019s 1969-70 Trans-Am teammate in their storming Bud Moore Boss 302 Ford Mustangs, \u201cGeorge proved he was a talented race driver, and he had a bubbly personality\u2014not a sour puss by any means.\u201d They won the series title in 1970.<\/p>\n

Tom Madigan, writing a book on Follmer, published soon by Ed Justice, Jr., first saw George at the old Palm Springs airport races, driving his Porsche. \u201cHe cleaned the field,\u201d Madigan recalls. \u201cHe was a very versatile driver, and also braver than Dick Tracy.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Petersen\u2019s program will begin with no-host cocktails and a Museum presentation that includes cars and collected memorabilia representing George Follmer\u2019s life in motor-racing. The buffet dinner follows, then a multi- monitor video screening compiled of filmed and still photo highlights from George\u2019s extraordinary competition years. Renowned drivers and Follmer\u2019s friends we all recognize or have read about will be introduced to tell some of their best stories from knowing George Follmer, with the tribute evening hosted and moderated by Master of Ceremonies Bill Stephens. Among the VIP guests who\u2019ve been invited are Dan Gurney, Parnelli Jones, John Morton, Tony Adamowicz and a number of other familiar names from George Follmer\u2019s racing past.<\/p>\n
