Hal Keck to be honored at Watkins Glen
Many of you recall that we lost Hal Keck earlier this year; Hal was one of the great Cobra race drivers of the 60's.

It would be great for a group from Club Cobra to attend the event. Details on the event can be found at The Grand Prix Festival of Watkins Glen SS COBRA has some pictures from the 60's and we were able to get some of the slides scanned for posting.

Ron, thank you, I've forwarded this on to the Keck family and I know if Hal saw this he'd have some smart a$$ comment to make. I hope we can receive more information from them about the racing days in the near future.
Thanks again SS COBRA Lau |
...and thanks to you for the updated info about the event at the Glen. ;)

Some of the names in the "Walk of Fame" include Jim Clark, Dan Gurney, Phil Hill, Mariro Andretti and Mark Donohue. Hal often commented that he and Mark went through SCCA Lic. school together. Cobra history should be proud of Hal's victories with his Cobra, including the Glenn.
