The local drivers I can ID from this time were:
* Jerry Grant, Stan Burnett, Don Jensen and Ken Legg all were from the Seattle area;
* Lew Florence was from Yakima, his cars were yellow and he usually carried #11, I remember his Genie and a later Porsche 906 (like the green 22 in these photos);
* Monte Shelton was from Portland, his cars usually were blue, he later had a Porsche 906 like Florence's and the two often had great battles, I think Gery Bruihl was from down there too;
* Mike Eyerly was from Salem, Oregon, won an SCCA E Prod championship in a Porsche (356? 1600) and in I believe 1970 won the national pro Formula B championship in a several years old Brabham.
Yeah, it's pretty tough... I just moved back to Seattle after 25 years in Sacramento, down there went to races at Laguna Seca and Sears Point, they have everything. I think back to the mid 60's - early 70's, when Pacific Raceways nee Seattle International was one of the top tracks in the USA; hosted pro racing in the fall liberally sprinkled with F1 and Indy car drivers, then the USRRC, later the factory Trans Am shootouts (Parnelli, Gurney, Bucknum, Follmer; Mustang v. Camaro v. Javelin v. Pontiac) and the F5000 pro races with Eagle v. McLaren v. Lola - today it's pretty thin broth; glad I at least get the Speed Channel...
