Well, I have the car I originally raced in, but that wasn't in the 60's, my
vintage racing started in the 80's (almost old enough to be Vintage Vintage,
or is that Vintage Historic?).
But, one of our friends and fellow CA racers here is John Kerby Miller. John
is still racing BOTH the 50 something Porsche speedster he raced in the 50's
AND his 1965, ex Bill Stroppe, African Safari Comet Caliente that he SCCA
raced in the 60's. He has quite a photo history of this car, going from
factory African Safari Rally car, to SCCA racer, to their everday
grocery-getter, and then restoration BACK to full-time race car. One of my
favorite pics of it is waist deep in Tahoe snow on a ski trip with snow tires
on it and skiis on the top, still in its original blue/white/orange factory
livery!
