Well, it looks like the cars finished in about the same order as the photo.

Here's what's really interesting... it appears the Alpine Charlie is driving is the same one Brabham drove in the Riverside Times GP in 1963.

I think somebody told me this was the only time Charlie drove an Alpine in a race.

Robert,

I think this is the same car as Charlie Parson's Alpine...

I wonder who owned this car... Larry Reed's dealership? Maybe. It seems to have been shared by a number of drivers. I think Jim Dittemore also drove this car too.

Here's a better picture of Parson's Alpine

Yes, it was the same car....

The picture is from the Gravelle Family collection (Sherry Parsons family). Thanks to Jerry Entin who forwarded me the image. According to Jerry the car was actually owned by Randy Hinton.

Now that was a good looking race car.
