An anniversary date just passed. Others noted that July 11, 1971 marked the day of Pedro Rodriguez' fatal accident. I can't keep track of dates like that. Glad others can.
The talk concerning Pedro was if he had raced in the Pacific northwest.
He had. He won a major race at Kent, WA in 1963. And he was scheduled to at least do a demonstration lap at Westwood in 1965 following the Shell 4000 rally.
Go to the Shell 4000 site for more info.
So, a couple bits from Competition Press about Pedro's win.
Interesting to note in the dnf column some drivers from Westwood: Bill Stephens in a Lister, Jim Rattenbury in a Porsche and John Razzelle in a Cobra.
