Chuck was one of the best
of the Northern California drivers in Class
"G" Modified in 1961. He drove Pru Baxter's Lotus Mk.11 and often
battled Art Snyder and others in this hotly
contested class

the intensity of the competition. |
| Chuck describes the race:
"The race with Art Snyder
at Laguna was my best win. Art and I left the pack (including Frank
Monise, John Timanus, Ron
Hathaway, et al) in the dust with Art leading almost the whole race
until the last lap. I was able to sneak by, take the lead, and set
a new lap record." |

| More from Chuck about
this race:
"The epic race between
myself ? Art was on Saturday, June 9th, 1961. On Sunday, I had the lead,
but the Climax lost a valve early in the race. I think Ron (Hathaway) or
John (Timanus) went on to win." |

| Chuck and Art go at it again. This time at Santa Barbara,
September 2-3, 1961. |
