Jerry Grant
drove ex-factory Ferrari Testa Rossa
#0704,
and later #0768, for Dick Hahn
of Yakima Washington. Though based in the Northwest, Grant often
appeared at California races. |
He finished 2nd to Chuck
Parsons'
Birdcage at Vacaville on August 20th, 1961.

Grant scatters cones as he slides off
the wet pavement at Vacaville. This gave the lead in Saturday's qualifying
race to eventual winner Dave
Ridenour in his Lister-Jaguar. Sunday winner Parsons was slowed
by throttle linkage problems in this race. |
Grant exits Turn 1 during the Riverside
Grand Prix on October 15th, 1961.
He qualified through the consolation
race and finished 14th. |

Ed Sauer of Seattle, WA, sent me this
photo from Pacific Raceways. Grant burns rubber as he accelerates
away at the start of a 1960 or 61 event. Next to him is Lew Florence
in a Lotus Mk.15 (?). Behind is Stan Burnett in his Chevy-powered
Burnett Special. (Back to: Ed
Sauer's Photos)
