Winding Up 1963

On The Road To Road America 1963

This was quite a race. There were so many interesting and oddball cars. My book has 6 more pages of just photos with cars like the Maserati 151, Bocar Stiletto, Excalibur Hawk Mk 4 and the Fireball Special. As always, purchase details below.

A Race Into The Sun - Continental Divide USRRC 1963

First, I have to start with a plug for my book.

Now we get to the story of the 1963 USRRC race at Continental Divide.

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.

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
