I owned the first Austin Healy in the U.S., and I have 4 CD's of film from the first Torry Pines race until the last one., along with other tracks as Riverside, Palm Springs and Santa Barbara. Yes, as a JC member with a Race Course Pass, I could go anlywhere, from the pits to the entire course, but the first corner down the straight-away was my favorite spot. Ah, those sportscar days were fantastic! As a member of the San Diego Jr.Chmbr of Comm., I helped build Torrey Pines.

My most vivid memories are the Ferrari driven by Jack McAfee,the special bodied MGTC owned and driven by Phil Hill, and a Siata. Ernie McAfee,(I believe it was him)had a pickup truck and had a hard time keeping the spectators off of it. I attended the first sanctioned race held at Torrey Pines.

In my novel, Gingham Blindfold, one of the characters drives the 356 that her dad raced at Torrey Pines. The 356 plays an important part in the book, and I wanted to give it some historical grounding. Thanks for the great post. This is really cool.
