SUMMER HITS SO. CAL

Summer brought a bit of a lull to local racing. July and August each had only one race date. There was no scheduled race on the July 4th week end. In August the only local race was held on the 3rd. The AMRCA World Class Nationals were held at the New York track on Au­gust 19th- 23rd, so no race at Whittier Narrows.

 

Both races took place in hot humid weather. All the people who were going back to the Nats. took advantage of the conditions to tune for what I'm sure will be similar weather. Loyd Torey has been very consistent lately and should do well. Stuart Hamill Has been fast "out of the box" with his new Torey built FTL 10cc car. Charlie Hamill has done more modifications to his 3.5cc car with promising results. Look for both of them to do well in New York.
