To continue the story, here is the 4th race of the '63 season at Watkins Glen.

Laguna Seca 1963

Although I've posted the 1963 Laguna Seca race previously, I'm doing it again to keep the sequence in order.

 

Watkins Glen '63 is next

1963 Pensacola USRRC and the first Manufacturer's race

To continue the story, here are the text pages from the second race of the 1963 season, at Pensacola. These races were held at the Corry Field, Naval Air Station, with major SCCA races from 1959 through 1964.
The 1963 race at Pensacola was significant for being the first USRRC race to include the Manufacturer's Championship cars and for being the only Mfr's race NOT won by a Cobra.

The USRRC Story unfolds

I posted the following on my Dead Pedal Press facebook page and for those who choose to not go there, I am putting the same info here.

I still have a few copies of USRRC left. There are about 3 left without the bumper box for $85. The rest are $100 for media mail shipping, or $115 for Priority Mail shipping. If you're interested, send payment via Paypal to: grimeheel62@wavecable.com. Or send a check to Mike Martin, 910 Secord Ct., Camano Island, WA 98282.
Since there are few copies left, I'm going to start posting the text of the book, probably a race a week. I'm going to start off by posting the Acknowledgements and Photo Acknowledgements pages, followed by the Intro to the book, the Intro to the 1963 season and the first race at Daytona. Enjoy.

In the between post time, I am continuing to work on the history of the Shadow Racing Team for Dalton Watson Fine Books.

Shadowing

I have to pinch myself.  I have a new gig, doing interviews, writing photo captions and editing the text for the upcoming Shadow Racing Team book. My thanks to author, Stephen Page and Glyn Morris from Dalton Watson Fine Books for the wonderful opportunity.
Does anyone have some good Shadow stories? If so, feel free to call me at 425-530-8021, or email me at grimeheel62@wavecable.com.

In the meantime, see below for a special offer of my USRRC book.

Labor Day Special - 1963 Laguna Seca USRRC

Here's a sample of what's in my book "A Record of the USRRC".  Charlie Parsons won the '63 Laguna Seca race in his father-in-law's Lotus 23.  It was a great race and I thank my friend, Allen Kuhn for letting me use his wonderful photos.
In anticipation of Labor Day, I'm offering a special price of $90 for a brand new copy of my book shipped via media mail.  Send via Paypal to:  grimeheel62@wavecable.com.  Will ship the next working day.  Or feel free to send a check to:  Mike Martin,  910 Secord Ct., Camano Island  WA  98282-7663.
