Interesting Cars

The late-Spring "Wine Country Classic" meeting at Sears Point always draws some unique entrants.
 

Rick Cannon's "Cannon Special" also known as "The Bomb" won Group 2 on Sunday.  This after a 3rd place finish in Saturday's qualifying race.  The car is a survivor of early 1950s California racing.

 
Tony Garmey drove Pat Hart's #47 1967 Factory Special Triumph TR250K to 2nd place both days in his group.
The sleek, futuristic-looking Triumph was new to me.  I'd never heard of such a car.  I later learned that it was designed by Peter Brock, of Cobra Daytona Coupe fame. 

John Shirley's #99 1962 Ginetta G-4 was 3rd on Saturday, and a DNS on Sunday.
