Ed Sauer's Photos  (6):  Jim Hall with very early Chaparral II

Ed Sauer of Seattle, WA, sent this photo of Jim Hall and an early Chaparral II.  Ed thinks this was 1964.  Can anyone identify the date and this rainy venue? 
 

From From Can-Am racer and website contributor Jerry Entin:

"On your picture Jim Hall 2 this is the best Franz Weis (Chaparral engine builder) remembers about it. He is at the back of the car. This letter is from Franz Weis's wife Kathy."

"Franz says this photo was during the fall of 1963 when Jim was driving the first rear engined Chaparral.  He's not sure where it was, but it sure was flat.  Not Midland though-- too many trees.  Franz is down behind the car wearing his "boys from the hood" old leather jacket.  Car looks like it had been in a wreck doesn't it."    Regards, Kathy Weis
