Bob Harris in the Campbell Special led early, but DNF'd.   The Campbell Special was one of the first successful Chevy V8 powered mid-engined sports/racing cars.  Harris qualified for the 1961 Riverside GP, drove conservatively, and finished the race.

On September 3rd, 1962, Harris crashed at the modified Santa Barbara airport circuit.  As today's kids would say -- he got "major air" in a spectacular flying, spinning rollover.

The car was rebuilt by Campbell and raced in 1963 by Jim Parkinson.  Where is this very significant car today?
