33rd Rolex Monterey Historic

August 18-20

In a 14-race weekend celebrating the Cooper marque at the magnificent Laguna Seca track, it was wholly appropriate that three race wins went to cars from the famous British marque.

US-based Mark Gillies won the Pre-65 single-seater feature in a Cooper T53, while Adrian van der Kroft topped the Pre-61 sports-racing car pack in his Monaco as the similar car of Mark Clubb chased.

The visiting Barrie Williams almost added another win for a Monaco after giving spirited chase to the Lister-Chevrolet of Rob Walton in the over-2500cc race. Meanwhile, James King won the historic Formula 1 race in his March 761.
