drove the ex-Bill Krause Maserati Type 61 #2469 in 1961. He won at Stockton on April 15-16, then at Laguna Seca on June 10-11. Don Hulette outlasted him at Cotati on July 16th. Then he embarked on a tour of Mid-Western pro races. At Continental Divide Raceway he and the Maserati ended up UNDERNEATH Ron Hunter's Chevy powered OSCA. Sargent reappeared for the fall pro races; he didn't qualify at Riverside, and finished well back at Laguna Seca. Sargent won again at Stockton in 1962, this time on the street course. |
