Bob Harris in the Campbell Special led early, but DNF'd.   The Campbell Special was one of the first successful Chevy V8 powered mid-engined sports/racing cars.  Harris qualified 15th for the 1961 Riverside GP.  He finished 13th after fighting a magneto problem for most of the race.

On September 3rd, 1962, Harris crashed at the modified Santa Barbara airport circuit.  As today's kids would say -- he got "major air" in a spectacular flying, spinning rollover.

The car was rebuilt by Campbell and raced in 1963 by Jim Parkinson.
