Torrey
Pines 2 -- Phil Hill / Bill Murphy
More of Bob's photos and
memories.

"Phil Hill drove a 3-liter
Ferrari Monza in Sunday's Main event. I was at turns 4-5 sitting
with Watsie Roach, and I told him that "Hill would be leading when
the cars get here." Watsie told me they lined cars up according to engine
size and that Murphy's Buick would be in the lead. I think he was right.
Anyway, Hill drove this von Neumann owned Ferrari until it broke and dnf'd.
What a beautiful car." |

"Bill Murphy built this
Kurtis with Buick engine sometime shortly before this race, as I recall
this was one of the car's first outings. He led the first lap or two." |
|
"Here's the two-liter
Ferrari entered by Manning Post and driven by Phil
Hill in Saturday's enduro. I saw this car again 42 years after
taking this photo, at the Coronado Speed Festival. Phil Hill was
at Coronado that year too." |
