Here is a very interesting publication quote regarding the 1985 Road Atlanta event:"Porsche takes over, art 2 "The next race was held at Road Atlanta, 500 miler....The GTO class was won once again by Roush Racing Ford Mustangdriven by John Jones-Wally Dallenbach,.... The GTU class saw a new victory by jack Baldwin who drove solo, ut the second place finisher was the astonishing little Nissan200SX driven by Frank Carney and Dick Davenport who upset everyone in a new Raytown Datsun sponsored entry."
