| Group 4 -- Oroscos Dominate
Carrying on the tradition of successful
Monterey area-based sports car racers, the winning Orosco family reminds
us of the triumphs of Ed Leslie,
Chuck
Parsons, and Don Wester in
the glory days of the 1960s.

| Paterfamilias Don Orosco in his 1958
2500cc. Coventry-Climax powered Lotus Mk.15 leads son Patrick in his 1960
1480cc. Lola Mk.1. Patrick won
the race, relegating his father to 2nd place.

| 50 year racing veteran Pete
Lovely in #25, a 1460cc. Lotus Mk.XI leads another Orosco son, Chris,
in a 1480cc. 1959 Lola Mk.1, through Turn 2. Do you think Chris might
have learned a few tricks racing with this grandmaster?
Chris was pressing John Mozart in the
black Lister-Chevy for
third place when Chris spun in Turn 2. Lovely got by before Chris
could get up to speed, but young Orosco caught and passed the racing legend.
Chris was 4th and Lovely 5th at the finish. |
