1963 Pacific Raceways USRRC

We'll start 2017 with the tale of the 1963 race at my home track, Pacific Raceways. I was 13 at the time and just got interested in GP racing, so I didn't know about the USRRC yet and did not get to this race. Nice win for Pedro in the Huffaker Genie.
I still have copies of the book available, which has full pages of photos which are not being shown here. See below for order details.

2014 SOVREN Pacific Northwest Historic Races

Fourth of July weekend is upon us.  As usual I will be at Pacific Raceways for the big vintage race weekend of the year to report on the races and to promote my USRRC book.  Victory Lane magazine is hosting me at their tent, where I will be selling and signing copies of my book.  If you are interested in vintage sports car racing, I hope you will come out to the races (proceeds benefit Childrens Hospital), stop by the Victory Lane tent at the end of vendor row and say "Hi".
