[ QUOTE ]  [/ QUOTE ] Where was this taken? [/ QUOTE ] [b]A couple of people also e-mailed me regarding this shot. It is Dan Gurney in the pits at Bridghampton NY, the eventual winner of the Saturday portion of the double 500km races in Sept of '63. - Hansgen in the pits - He was known as "King of the Bridge" but was 3rd today behind Gurney and Miles - in this Team Cunningham Jag. He did win Sundays race in a Team Cunningham Cooper-Buick. -  - Gurney, Holbert (Team Cobra), Hansgen and Miles (Team Cobra) down the hill on the first lap of Saturdays race. -  - Team Cobra's Ken Miles -  - Bob Johnson in a privateer Cobra -  - This is Briggs Cunningham taking out the Cooper-Buick to out to warm it up for Walt Hansgen who was late for Friday qualifying  -  - A shot of Briggs speaking with fellow Jag dealership owner Alfred Momo -  - I was also asked about the b/w shot of the Cobra hauler - I do not know where that shot was taken - it may have been in France. Here are a couple more Cobra shots taken at Lake Garnett Raceway (Kansas) on 7-7-63 -  -  -  -

[/ QUOTE ] Boy does that look like Dave MacDonald up on the trailer. He would die the following year at Indy when he spun/crashed the fuel-heavy Mickey Thompson "roller skate" in the opening laps and caused an incredible fire which consumed Indy winner Eddie Sachs as well.

Nobody saw those cars as precious investments, they were simply disposable items meant to be used up and then pushed aside. They were used and abused--heavily--and then either sold as surplus (as the Daytonas were after their world-beating '65 season) or parted out. I went to Google Earth and located the Bridgehampton track. It is now a private golf course.

Re: Old Street Scenes
Heres a pics from the 60's of my dad and uncles vettes. They are both are rare especially my dads 57. The 57 was one of 43 579E big brake air box fuelly vettes and the 62 was originally fawn beige on beige 327-340hp 4spd. I have tracked down my dads old 57 it has been completely restored went NCRS top flight several times but never found (and have been looking) my uncles 62. Notice, on the 62 vette, the optional 1962 impala wire wheel covers. My uncle had a roman red 1962 impala convert at the same time. All the 57 vette pics are all the same car. My dad changed the look several times.
