Jim Hall -- Chaparral 2A -- Candlestick Park
Aug. 7-8, 1965
Hall won this race easily. Not surprising since he and the
world-class Chaparral were facing Northern California regional opposition.
The Candlestick Park organizers spent the money and did whatever else they
needed to do to bring a crowd-drawing "Big league" entrant to these race
events. In 1964 they brought Phil Hill in a Series
2 Ferrari GTO (Was it a 4-liter? TM) and for 1965 they convinced
Hall to appear.
This race was marred by the death of popular and talented NorCal
driver Bart
Martin. (Your webmaster would like to create a tribute page to
Martin. Can anyone contribute photos and info?)
