Sports Car Race, Pacific Raceways 1963

is that white car @ 3:43 a chaparral 1?

This video is amazing! I would sell my soul to have the Ferrari TR or GTO!! It is very cool to be able to see most of these cars racing each year with SOVREN at SIR!

nice pits...

Thanks for the great footage solaracer66! 1963 USRRC race at Kent, Washington. 1st Dave MacDonald #97 (black)csx2128 289 Cobra, 2nd Ken Miles #98 (red) csx2129 289 Cobra, 3rd Bob Holbert #99 (black) csx2127 289 Cobra.

Glad to see safety was at a premium in those days,passenger cars parked 4 feet from the race track,one straightaway seperated from another straightaway by a good 20 feet and of course, any car spinning out of control could expect to be brought to a safe halt by,em, rows of spectators...

Thanks for doing this conversion, not many video records exist for this type of racing and it is truly some of the best racing and finest machines ever produced. Thanks for helping your parents friend. The video is great!

Incredible footage- how did you find this? Do you have more to post? Thanks for posting!

A friend of my parents had this film and asked me to convert it to video for him. I did so and he allowed me to post it to YouTube since he's a little web-challenged. All the racing footage I have is posted to the various videos on my account, however I do have a lot more videos of old cars I might post at some point.

Wow! Thanks for posting

Thanks for the reply. I have great memories of those events and am really glad they are available to see.
