One of the last front engine Chaparral Mark 1 types showed up at Green Valley in early 1965.
Driver was Joe Starkey in car # 21


Is Joe smoking while his mechanic works on the carbs. ?






Starkey coming up to pass the Lotus 23B # 17 of Ken Leith.



So this is how you convert a dairy farm in Texas.
This shows the Green Valley Raceway dragstrip off toward the hill and the road racing was done in the opposite direction and around the car park to the left.
Spectators would to sit on the hills where the cows used to roam. Sadly no more.
