This rare COLOR photo is significant in that it shows both 5R001 and 5R002 racing together at Candlestick Park on the weekend of August 7-8, 1965. These two Shelby team cars only raced against each other during the second half of the 1965 season in SCCA. I believe this only happened three times. (Willow Springs in July, Candlestick Park in August, and the Daytona runoffs in late November.)
From left to right (or from the back of the pack to the front);
#17 Cobra 289 (CSX2136) Foster Alexander
#26 GT350 (5R002) Ed Leslie (as captioned in your B&W photo)
#66 Jaguar XKE (directly behind the above GT350 #26) Merle Breenan
#32 GT350 (5R001) Jerry Titus
#1 Cobra 289 (CSX2458) Ernest Kesling (just barely ahead of #32)
#6 Porsche 904 Don Wester
#7 Cobra 427 (CSX3002) Phil Hill
Titus finished first in BP class with Leslie finishing 2nd. They were 2nd and 3rd overall.
