Bob Harris -- Campbell Special-Chevrolet
Harris at the "L.A. Times
Grand Prix", held at Riverside Raceway on October 15, 1961. The "Bonanza"
decal identifies the date and venue, as it wasn't on the car at Riverside
in March, 1962 or at Stockton,
in April, 1962.
Harris earned a spot in the main event by qualifying 15th at 2:07.7,
then fought magneto problems to finish 13th in the race.

"I broke numerous track records in the Campbell car. I held the straight
away record at Riverside for a short while at 180 mph. It was later broken
by Jim Hall in the Chaparral. I also held the track record at Riverside
for about three months, which was then broken by Dan Gurney. I broke
records at Stockton, Del Mar, and Santa Barbara as well, all driving the
Campbell special."
