Riverside
-- February 2-3, 1963
This photo shows action
during the main event at the SCCA event held at Riverside Int. Raceways
on Feb. 2-3, 1963. The main event was overshadowed by an awe-inspiring
performance from Carroll
Shelby's new Cobra sports cars.
Joe Travis in #134 Porsche
RS moves over as the four leading cars prepare to lap him. Frank
Monise in #44, his 1500cc. Lotus Mk.23 leads, followed by Don
Wester in #60, his 1700cc. Porsche RS61. Next to Wester is eventual
winner Bill Sturges in his 2750cc. Cooper
Monaco. Visible behind Sturges is Ken
Miles in Otto Zipper's 1700cc. Porsche RS61. These four fought
a hard four-way battle for the lead until Monise DNF'd.
Trailing the pack and
already lapped is Dave Dunbar in his beloved Buick-powered "Fubar
Special". This fun car wasn't among the leaders but put on its
usual great show. |
