Some of the SCCA Oldtimers still get together as we did in Novato
yesterday. Later, Bob Winkelmann sent this to the group. I think the NoBBCC
will be interested in this old 8mm film; maybe some of you were there. About
1:23 into it I am shown in my red Stanguillini; although it may be Leo
Bourke in his red Stang - hard to tell. The course was unforgiving, and
after two fatalities we never ran it again.

This is a terrific old film of races at Candlestick Park...I know many of
you were probably there, and I recognize some of the cars...
For those who aren't familiar with those races...They were held in the
parking lot of Candlestick Park(where the 49ers play)...for 2 years.....I
believe the blue 427 Cobra is Phil Hill(he broke an axle)....the white 427
Cobra is likely Dick Workman.The white Jag XKE is Merle Brennan(The Silver
Fox)....The Orangeish 356 Porsche might be Clint Dewitt....The Green Jag
XK120 is Paul Hammer....The Lime Green Alfa Spider is probably Steve
Griswold....The white TR4 is probably Steve Froines..The Porsche 904 is
probably Don Wester..The purple Lotus Elite is probably Ted Jackson......
The track was very bumpy with lots of dips, and dangerous obstacles....there
were lots of wrecks, and the track was very tough on cars, so the venue was
ended after I believe 2 years...
