I have found that my results of several notable late 1963 season North American sportscar races are rather poor, so I would like to ask here for a help to fill in the gaps. It's mainly Laguna Seca GP, Bridgehampton 500 kms and also Kent Pacific North West GP. Here is what I have (more can be found at http://wsrp.wz.cz/natus1963.html):

[Martin Krejci]

Dear WINO,

thank you very much.
I suppose that "3. Grant, Bardahl Lotus 19/Buick, 1'29"9" should be 1'27"9" to fit other times.
Is there any idea what driver was the Meyer mentioned in Laguna Seca?

Martin

[WINO]

Martin,

Sorry for the typo with the Jerry Grant time. It was Tim Mayer, brother of Teddy Mayer, who drove the Lotus 23 at Laguna Seca.

[Martin Krejci]

Thank you very much. It's clear that many cars started previous day in another 500 kms race that was part of International GT Championship and that is covered in Time and Two Seats book. I found one discrepancy (Don Yenko wouldn't be Sting Ray previous day - is Sting Ray definite in this race?) and would think that all GT cars had the same race number as in the first race. Can anybody confirm if that's right?

Martin

[raceannouncer2003]

I used the Road and Track report. It said "the grid (on Sunday) was filled with...three Sting Rays headed by Don Yenko..." The results list the Wylie/Georgi and Yenko cars as Sting Rays. Your TeamDan results show them driving Chevrolet Corvettes on the previous day...same thing, I think. Also, on Sunday, it says "...Miles started fourth in the Cobra he had driven the day before (CSX2129) with Bob Holbert beside him in the machine with which Gurney had won the opener (CSX2137). I can't confirm about the GT car race numbers.

[raceannouncer2003]

Also found this. Looks like Skip Hudson ran the Team Meridian Maserati 151 there too.

Dear Vince,

thank you very much.
Weren't there some more two-litre cars than those marked with *?

Grand Prix was rather enjoyable, I think :-) Moreover I am a McLaren fan since their Can-Am days :-)

It would be great, if you could have a look at Laguna Seca later.

Best wishes,

Martin

[Manfred Cubenoggin]

Interesting to these results posted as this was in and around the time when my passion for motorsports was kindled. Of special note to me is the Kent 1963 entry for Graham Hill. When did he log a qualifying time for this race? I'm somewhat incredulous at his participating in the Kent go when the day prior, he racked up 100 laps of Mosport on his way to P2 in the Canadian GP.

[WINO]

And talk about the incompetence of scheduling two major professional sportscar racing events in North America on the same weekend!

WINO

[raceannouncer2003]

From the Seattle Times, Sunday, September 29, 1963:

"Hill, world's champion from London, will be in the sixth row. He did not arrive until late last night, but Bob Winkelmann of Mill Valley, Claif., owner of the Lotus 23B Hill will drive, qualified the car at 1'33.4"

From the Road & Track report:

"Starting dead last because he hadn't arrived in time to qualify, Graham Hill showed the fans and drivers what it was all about by threading Roy Winkelmann's Lotus 23B/1.9 Climax through to third overall" (in the first heat)

As for the same weekend thing, I believe the Kent race was a USAC event, while the Canadian GP obviously wasn't, if that explains anything!

And yes, of course, Parsons, Leslie, Grinzewitsch, Dykes, von Kirbach, Rattenbury, and Sherman would have been under 2-litre too. Sorry about that. Also Schaff although he apparently didn't start. Jones' Lotus 23 was 2.5 litres.

As for the Grand Prix, I've been kind of cheering for Kimi since I bought his 2004 McLaren Mercedes slot car!

WINO

It wasn't so much a matter of "incompetence" as the very nature of the business in those days: it was pretty much each and every promoter for himself.

The West Coast events were still aligned with USAC at that moment, although with a heavy reliance on the SCCA for assistance, even if not officially, since the flag crews and so forth were generally supplied by the local SCCA regions.

At least the Canadians were still holding their races on Saturdays back then otherwise it would have been even more hectic for a few.

[WINO]

Let's see: only five major professional sportscar races on the calendar in North America for 1963, two in Canada and three in the U.S. Scheduling two on the same weekend can hardly be attributed to some "promotor." These were FIA approved events allowing international drivers to participate. It did provide a excellent way to dilute the fields at Pacific Raceways and Mosport, with the latter suffering the most. Same happened the previous year between Bridgehampton and Mosport, another Canadian GP.

The Times GP program has the driver Winkelmann -- of Mill Valley-- down as Robert. However, the entrant is listed as R. Winkelmann: brother Roy???

The Arciero Lotus 23 of Parnelli Jones actually had a 2.7 liter Climax shoehorned in the back.


WINO

[raceannouncer2003]

Found another bit from the September 29, 1963 Seattle paper:

"Bob Winklemann (sp), owner, sat in the sleek Lotus 23, hoping in vain that he would drive it today (Sunday), exchanging banter with Mr. and Mrs. Joe Crooks and Mrs. Vicky Buttery. All are from Mill Valley, Calif.--although Winklemann's home base originally was London, and he sounds it..."

Vince H.

[Martin Krejci]

Dear Vince,

thank you very much for all those results. If I understand it well Jerry Grant was a non-starter, correct?
Not sure if that's available but I don't know entrant's name of Foyt's car?

There is some uncertaintity about Penske's car I think. I was told that "Penske was driving a strange Mecom-Cooper-Chevy , not the usual Cooper-Climax--Zerex Special, there is an SCG's report on it." If that's correct then I prefer to call it just Cooper-Ford rather than Zerex Special.

Best wishes,

Martin

[WINO]

Foyt's car was the rear-engined Scarab, bought only a few weeks earlier by John Mecom from Reventlow.

As for Penske's car at Laguna in 1963, that started life as McLaren's works Cooper Monaco T61, raced on the West Coast in 1962. Mecom bought that one as well. Although Penske raced the original Zerex/Climax at Riverside, he switched to the former McLaren Cooper at Laguna. However, by then it featured a 327 Chevy engine and the bodywork [and possibly the chassis] were changed completely. It looked like an effort to produce a second-generation Zerex. At Mecom they called it the Mecom/Chevy. It was not a success and was sold almost immediately.


WINO

[raceannouncer2003]

As for Jerry Grant, I can't confirm whether or not he started...I presume he didn't.

Vince H.

[Martin Krejci]

Thanks to all. WINO, have you any idea if Mecom used the Mecom/Chevy in any other races (and which in particular) and whom he sold it to?

[WINO]

There is a race-by-race account of the Scarab in the Nov/Dec issue of Vintage Motorsport.

In 1965 John Mecom sold the car to Augie Pabst who, I believe, recently sold it again.


WINO

[raceannouncer2003]

Martin, if you look at the Shelby King Cobra thread, the January 1964 Road & Track report on the 1963 Pacific Grand Prix at Laguna Seca is there, with all the results.
