Movie  #2   Santa Barbara:  Classes C-D-E-F-G Modified    (1.70MB)

Bob Harris in the Campbell Special leads Dave MacDonald in his orange #00 Corvette Special and the rest of the field.   Next lap, Harris comes by in the lead.

Then, Mary McGee in Vasek Polak's Porsche RS leads Masterson in his RS60.   Next, MacDonald spins the Special.  Harris and Nethercutt battle for the lead.  Some class "G" modified cars follow;  Art Snyder in his Elva Mk.VI;  John Timanus in his Lotus Mk.XI, and Don Maslin in his Lotus Mk.XI.

Pat Bryan in #83 Ferrari Monza powerslides past.   Then Harris and Nethercutt continue their battle;  then the "G" modifieds again.  We see Masterson and McGee again; then a good view of McAfee;  then John Timanus in the damaged Lotus.

Lastly, as the film does a natural "fade to black", Saturday winner Nethercutt carries the checkered flag on his victory lap.
