Yesterday after being absent since March I drove down to Moss Motors past the old circuit that held the Santa Barbara Airport races.
I like to visit the areas of these past events from the 1950s & 60s and photograph how it looks today.
Such as where Phil Hill in his personal 2.9-liter Ferrari passed the Kurtis 500 of Bill Stroppe who was leading easily until he looked back and powered off into the ditch as a surprised Phil Hill went on to one of his first major wins in his career.
