    I think I remember your dad's name from race programs in the 50's & 60's. He raced occassionally in NorCal at some of the old airport courses, didn't he? The name is VERY familiar! I can't remember what he drove, but could probably look it up in some of the 3 dozen race programs I still have from that peroid.

    Bill,
    I worked all 3 of those courses as a volunteer flagman for SCCA, so that's probably where I saw the name in the race program. Are you old ernough to have been at any of those courses with your dad?

    Bill,The '56 Sacramento races were the first one I worked as a SCCA volunteer. I had crowd control duty on the curve that went around the outside of the horse race track. I also worked as a flagman for the 6-hour enduro @ Cotati. I think I was over on either turn 3 or 4 on the backside of the track.Nice photo!!
