Art Snyder

was a contender in Class "G" Modified in 1961.  He and his red Lola Mk.1 appeared everywhere in California, north and south.  He battled hot Lotus Mk.XI drivers like Frank Monise and Chuck Tannlund and was a fair match for northern California Lola Mk.1 ace Ron Hathaway.


 
On September 24, 1961, Snyder finished 2nd in Class "G" Modified to Ron Hathaway at Stead AFB, near Reno, Nevada.

 
For 1962, Snyder brought the first Elva Mk.6 to California.  Here he brakes for a  tight corner on the Stockton street course.

Later in 1962, Snyder bought an even lower and lighter Genie sports racer.
