More Bob Drake

Visitors are welcome to submit photos & memories of Bob Drake's racing career for this page.
 
Bob Norton's photo of Drake at Pomona in 1960.

He's driving Maserati Type 61 "Birdcage" #2452.  Joe Lubin owned the car and it was the first "Birdcage" to appear on the West Coast.

I saw Drake drive this Maserati at the first race I ever attended, Laguna Seca in June, 1960.  He led the main event easily until mechanical problems slowed him.

Ken Miles went on to win in Otto Zipper's Porsche RS60.
 
Another look at Drake in the Joe Lubin "Birdcage" in this photo by Pete
