DB3S #115
Website visitor 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." |
