Website contributor Ron
Keil owned this car and sent me these photos (given to him by George Butcher,
Jr.) and this information on the car.

| Bob Drake at Sacramento
on Oct. 6, 1957, in Aston Martin DB3S #115 when it was owned by Joe Lubin.
I don't know who was driving the Lancia in the background.
Bill Oker contributed
a photo of his father, Bob Oker, in another Lubin-entered
DB3S. |

| Great action shot from
Sacramento!
Mick Marston
in the "Huffaker Healey" leads Drake in the Aston Martin, Bob Gillespie's
Maserati
A6GCS, a Porsche Carrera, and what looks like it might be a Ferrari
500TR. Farther back are a Jaguar XK120 coupe and another Aston
Martin, probably Rod Carveth's. |

| From Ron Keil:
"This photo shows the same car at Santa Barbara when it was owned by Bill
de Creeft, from whom I bought it." (Note Talbot-Lago GP car in
background. TM)
"Joe Lubin sold the car
to Bill de Creeft, who raced it for several years then sold it to me in
1963. I made the horrendous error, in 1966, of selling it to buy
a faster race car; SCCA had just lumped anything over 2.0 litres into the
"open" class and immediately I was outclassed by hand-me-down Can-Am cars
in addition to the lone Testa Rossa
still racing in the West. The "new" owner still has the car and is
restoring it." |
