A legendary Brass Tag Volvo 122S #72BS-31, campaigned in the early 1970s by New York State Police Captain and Finger Lakes Region SCCA racer Stephen Sharkey. Sharkey transformed the once-humble Volvo sedan into a serious B-Sedan contender, preparing much of the car himself with four-wheel disc brakes, and several P1800 performance upgrades. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA regular at Watkins Glen and Mid-Ohio, the Sharkey Volvo battled through regional SCCA events and Trans-Am races from 1970–1973, earning podium finishes and becoming a familiar sight in the golden era of SCCA B-Sedan, U2L and 2.5 Challenge Trans-Am racing. Drivers Harold Cunningham and Richard Vary also shared seat time in the car during its competitive run.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe hat’s deep red corduroy and simple “BS” felt patch capture the spirit of grassroots racing in the 1960’s and 1970s — when racers towed their own cars, built them in home garages, and drove them flat-out all weekend.
