Ok here we go !
My father is Jacques Duval ( for those who know him ) he strated racing in 1958
in an alpha romeo and quickly move to a 356 after seing these Porsches performances on the track, Soon after he got an Abarth Carrera ( I was 6 then)
Wich he raced a couple times but the car was poor handling, He switched to a 904 in 1964 and had great results . sure enough i got bit by the porsche bug.
He ended up with a 906 bought from the late Doug Revson from the REVLON family , he clintched the Quebec champion title with that car, He was now with is 4th porsche , After the 906, came the race prep by the factory 911;s in 1968 he also won the championship here in Quebec, sold the car to a group of individuals
The car was named JEZEBEL And is still racing these days. ( was at the rennsport IV reunion a couple months ago ) My father then got another 911T 1969 with wich he was tied at the championship with Jacques Bienvenue. I was following at each race that I could....... Finally he got a 914 6 GT with which he won the Daytona 24 hrs race in 1970....... his biggets achievement. This is a short review of his racing carreer ... You now see why I was soaked into Porsches early in my life.............!
