Pearce Woods -- Jaguar
C-Type: Torrey Pines, Oct. 25, 1955
Woods won the October 25, 1955
6-hour enduro in this car, a
C-Type
Jaguar." Woods drove the full race distance "iron man" without a relief
driver.
Here Woods asks our photographer Bill
Tibbetts, a friend and spectator, to get him a coke from a refreshment
stand. The driver picked up the drink from a flagman on the next
lap.
| (12-2-13) From Bill Tibbetts:
"On 12/02/13 Bill Tibbetts searched his
memory and is correcting the description of the Coke delivery to read that
Woods asked flagger Ken Stutzman to get him a Coke next time around, and
a friend of Stutzman and Woods, Bill Tibbetts, who was nearby inside the
snow fencing taking photos, ran to fetch a Coke and gave it to Ken, and
Woods picked up the drink from Stutzman next time around." |
Your webmaster was surprised to learn
that early 1950s C-Jag driver PEARCE Woods was indeed the same
person as PETE Woods who later drove Devin SS cars.
