"The race seems to be long forgotten, but it attracted all the budding stars 
and wannabees of the day.  Entrants included Ken Miles, Phil Hill, George
Beavis, Henry Manney, Bruce Kessler, Duffy Livingston, Cy Yedor, Bumpy Bell and many more."

(10-23-08)  From Michael Jacobsen:

"The Terminal Island photo includes a rare shot of the second Barlow Simca when owned by Tom Chatfield and carrying a sleeved and blown 
XPAG -- perhaps it was the engine Miles built for R1 before he got the factory job."
