PRIVATEER

Since the early days of auto racing, Factory teams, and factory supported teams have had To contend with individuals driving homolgated street cars. Often these racers had access to parts, tires, etc. that due to publicity and sponsorship agreements were off limits to the factory teams. At tracks like Lime Rock in the east,and Willow Springs in the west, it was not unusual to see these individuals pulling into pit row in the car they had driven to the track. After A few hours of tweaking,
they’d race these cars, often giving the Factory teams a real run for their money, and sometimes taking the checkered flag.
These amateur Racers were known as “Privateers”
