This is my 1960 Sebring index winning 750 Osca on the pole @ the first interdivisional runoffs.
Next to me is Dan Parkinson (winner) in the Dolphin Abarth.
In #3 is Martin Tanner in the MartinT (saab, dnf).
My car (built for 24-hr races) is a bit on the heavy side for 45-minute sprints, also being front-engine does not handle as well as some of the other cars.
At this event the qualifying was held under sloppy cold wet conditions & i was using my capacitive-discharge ignition, everybody else was misfiring & so i was able to capture pole position altho not being the fastest car in the race.
The car has had numerous owners since i sold it in 1966, presently is owned by a collector in japan.
Jack Gordon
