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 15th for the 1961 Riverside GP. He finished 13th after fighting a magneto problem for most of 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. 8-22-05: The Campbell Special, owned, restored, and driven, by Tom Mittler re-appeared at the 2005 Monterey Historics! New!
