Your webmaster took these
two photos at Pomona on July 9, 1961. Not great quality, but they
show little-known mid-pack contenders in action during a classic early
1960s main event.

| Jim Chaffee in the "Pink
Elephant" leads "Mystery Car" #37.
I remember these two cars battling through much of the race.

| It looks like Chaffee just
blew the "Pink Elephant's" engine. Maybe he only lost a water hose
and that vapor spewing out from under the hood is just steam. He's
leading Chuck Willis's Devin-Jaguar. Note KTTV truck -- I wonder
if tape of this race exists somewhere in their archives?
