Richard Griot -- 1964
Webster 001-Climax
Griot, of Milton, WA, was a non-starter
in his 2000cc. Webster Special 001-Climax. There's nothing on this
car on the net, or there'd be a link here.
(This is all off the top of your webmaster's
head, and could be wrong, and is definitely incomplete.) In a nutshell,
Webster was a Northern California businessman and team owner who started
by sponsoring Ed Leslie
in a Lotus Mk.23 sports/racer and a Lotus Mk.22 Formula Junior. In
1963-64 he moved on to building his own cars.
He hired well-known Northern California
fabricator Jack Hagemann to create two Specials. The first was this
car, a Coventry-Climax powered entrant in the under-two liter class.
The second was an aluminum Oldsmobile-powered main
event contender.
Griot leads 2nd place finisher Tom Claridge
in his 3800cc. Lotus Mk.19 and 10th place finisher Steven Read in his 1600cc.
Lotus Mk.23B.
