Some of the cars
had 1500 cc. engines and thus were actually Formula 2 cars under FIA rules.
They ran in the same races as the Formula Juniors and added diversity to
the grids.

These 1500cc. MG Specials
of Nels Miller #99 and #26 Walter Huff were survivors of another
era in California racing-- the early 1950s.
They battled on even terms all weekend at Santa Barbara on Sept. 2-3, 1961. |
| Website visitor Dan Wilson of Colorado Springs adds:
"A picture on the "More Formula Juniors 4" page has some history behind it. The yellow #99 car is the olde Ken Miles R1 MG special, and the hidden orange #26 car is the very similar Bud Hand MG special. Both started as sports cars in the fifties, and both were campaigned as 1500 Formula II cars, often running side by side. The Hand car was wrecked at Vaca Valley later in it's career. Thanks for the great website!" |

hairpin at Santa Barbara.
