| Kurtis Cars 4 -- The Eagleson/McCarroll Special |
 |
| Bob Eagleson at Stockton
on April 14-15 1962. Eagleson campaigned this Mistral-bodied Chevrolet-powered
Kurtis in northern California events in 1962. It turns out this is
another "Mystery Car". Does anyone know anything about its history?
7-6-07: Ed McCarroll, who built the car with Bob Eagleson, tells the story of the car's creation and its campaign in 1962. It's still a "Mystery Car", though; no one has yet come forward with knowledge of its original Kurtis chassis. |
| Joshua Saslove raced
the car in 1963. Here he's charging up the hill at the Laguna Seca
USRRC event in June, 1963.
Saslove TRADED the Kurtis for the Campbell Special later in 1963. Bill Campbell then rebodied the Kurtis and raced it as the "Alligator Special". More on the "Alligator" soon! (Photo by Dave Norton) |

the chassis frame members.
