He made his professional debut in 1986 in the Player's GM Challenge, driving a Chevy Camaro [We think this is his 1987 car].
The series was home to F-body showroom stockers. Each year, GM built 90-100 Camaros and Trans-Ams for this series.
7 events per season with 40-50 cars/drivers per race at venues across Canada (eg- Shannonville, Toronto, Race City, Mosport, Mt. Tremblant, Vancouver, Trois-Rivieres, Westwood, Cayuga, et al).
CTV's "Wide World of Sports" carried the action. The races were often part of big events like the Molson Indys. The coverage and Ron's performance [eg- a dominant 1989 season] made Ron Fellows a star....and ultimately, a Corvette racing icon.
