Campaigned by Verna Griffiths, of Los Gatos, Ca., this Lotus 23B was owned and raced by John Morton – first with a factory-built, Lotus twin-cam and then with a 904 Porsche engine, which Morton installed himself in 1965. The car has an interesting history, with its Lotus-built engine, the car was a Shelby-team entry in the 1964 Players 200, Mosport race in Canada, where it qualified second and finished third. With its more-powerful Porsche engine, the 23B raced from 1965 to 1968, mixing a number of DNFs with second-place finishes

Don Hogue

I started road racing with the SCCA (San Francisco Region) back in 1974 in both G & F production.

Ran the SCCA National Runoffs at Road Atlanta in 1978 (FP Spitfire), and in 1993 (GP Fiat X1/9) where I set the GP lap record and came in third.

For my effort a the National Runoffs in 1993, I was given the "Wheel Award" trophy presented to me by Joe Huffaker

I started vintage racing in 2010 with CSRG in a 1967 Lotus 47 that is exactly as it was raced back in 1969 at the 12 hours of Sebring except for now using a smaller engine.

AC Daugustine

This Genie MK10B is special. It’s the only MK10B in existence. Joe Huffaker wanted to build an upgrade in 1965-upgraded everything-chassis, brakes and motor. Unfortunately, he did not upgrade the Huffaker transaxle. The car was the factory entry in the ‘66 Can Am race at Laguna Seca but Bondurant broke the tranny in practice (not surprising since motor was 360 cid Traco)

Huffaker sold the car to Merle Brennan who campaigned it in Can Am, USRRC, SCCA etc for 3 years

Troy Tinsley

1965 Bobsy SR3. Troy is a new CSRG member that comes to us with many years of racing experience. His 1965 Bobsy SR3 was built by Jerry Mong's Vanguard Automotive Enterprise of Medina, Ohio. The Bobsy uses an aluminum semi-monocoque chassis and is powered by a Lotus TwinCam motor.

While the Bobsy was a regular SCCA Club competitor in E/F/H-Mod and CSR during the 1960s, it also made several appearances in the USRRC Under 2L Pro races competing against the likes of the Porsche, Lotus, and Elva.
