1974 to 1982
Jaguar XK-E & XJ-S
Bob Tullius was a racer. When he took
on racing, he drove many types of cars, from Dodge Darts to Ford
Mustangs, then Jaguar Es, XJS, Triumph TR8s and later, Jaguar XJR5s and
7s. He had a British Leyland dealership and when he
took part of the GTP series, his goal was to improve the Jaguar image.
At the end of the 1975 season, the Jaguar E was no longer produced and
British Leyland needed a new flagship.
Lord Stokes showed no interest in auto racing, but
Michael Dale, British Leyland Vice
President of Sales, remained enthusiastic about racing the XJS. He
worked closely with Bob Tullius on the XJS program. The
very first race for the XJS was at Mosport Trans Am in
1976. Bob Tullius led for most of the race in category
1, in which the car was entered. However, the car experienced air
cooling problems, preventing him from close racing action. He finally
took fourth.
When he entered IMSA for the first time, it was at
Daytona in 1976, for the traditional year end Finale.
He drove the Jaguar XJS that had been previously entered in the
Trans Am series. Powered by a V12 5,3L, the car was a little
short of power, but Bob Tullius was running fourth at
halfway point, but he had to retire when the car's interior temperatures
became unbearable.
