Default Gurney/Nassau 1963

I am a newbie on the forum and a long-time Dan Gurney fan. I have built a spreadsheet on the 300+ races in his career, but one event that is mostly blank is the 1963 Nassau Speed Weeks. In the Cobra History-December thread there was once a photo of the Cobras at the start of that race, but it is no longer available. Does anyone have this photo for a repost, or can someone provide a link to a picture of Gurney at Nassau in 1963? I also am looking for a photo of his Lotus 19, wearing the number 3 from that same event. Thanks.

Default Gurney for President

While this is not exactly what you asked, i hope you saw the July/Aug issue of Vintage Motorsport and the full front cover of the Arciero #96 Lotus 19, chassis #951, with the good guy standing with the car. Great pic and great article.

The inside P81 picture is even better, full page.

It was a great article (I don't have it in front of me right now), but there was one mistake: it lists one of the races that the Lotus 19 took part in as the Hoosier Grand Prix Formula Libre race at Indianapolis Raceway Park. Dan actually was driving a Lotus 18, chassis 903, that was also owned by the Arcieros.
