Bob Harris -- Campbell
Special-Chevrolet
Harris
at the "L.A. Times Grand Prix", held at Riverside Raceway on October 15,
1961. The "Bonanza" decal identifies the date and venue, as it wasn't
on the car at Riverside in March, 1962 or at Stockton,
in April, 1962.
Harris earned a spot in the main event
by qualifying 15th at 2:07.7, then fought magneto problems to finish
13th in the race.

"I broke numerous track records in the
Campbell car. I held the straight away record at Riverside for a short
while at 180 mph. It was later broken by Jim Hall in the Chaparral.
I also held the track record at Riverside for about three months, which
was then broken by Dan Gurney. I broke records at Stockton, Del Mar,
and Santa Barbara as well, all driving the Campbell special."
