Hello:I was on the SCCA scoring team in October ’63 when Dave McDonald won The Monterey Fall Race in the #98 King Cobra.
The Grid included such Greats as Jim Clark, AJ Foyt,Loyd Ruby,Roger Penske,Graham Hill,Jim Hall and others.
Getting up on a trailer set up at the starting for the scoring team I was able to take shots of the grid.
I did a Lap Chart on that race and it was something to look at Dave McDonald come up through ‘The Pack’.I believe he passed A J Foyt in the last lap.
That week-end Chuck Parsons,in a Lotus Mk 25, just barely beat Don Wester and Skip Hudson.An old expression goes ‘you could have thrown a blanket over them’.Had the race lasted another 20 or 30 feet,Skip Hudson would have been 1st,Don Wester 2nd and Chuck Parsons 3rd.
Those WERE DAYS and I have many pictures in my shop of My Four years,1963 to 1966 in The S.F.Region SCCA.
Thanks for letting me ‘bend your ear’.
Jim

I didn’t have a chance of winning an award in such illustrious company but your photographer, Dennis Gray, was so enthusiastic about my Riley that it made my day. A great event all round.

Thanks for the pics from the SF Concours. I agree that it was a great event for a first time effort there.
