Check with the North American Rapier Registry as I know they at least raced
Rapiers in California in 1960-62 era.  I believe the cars were Rootes factory
cars.

First, the spelling is probably Rodriguez.

Also, I have a Rootes promo video tape that references them at the Le Mans
where the Harrington Alpine won the Index of Thermal Efficiency, 1961!
Except, the mention of them had nothing to do with the Alpine, but the huge
Ferraris they were driving, and possibly won it.  So, you might find more
about them through those cars.  I don't recall hearing about them in Rootes
cars.
