This week marks the 50th anniversary of my dad exhibition racing 6S289 at Sears Point. Talking with dad today, he told me that it was the first race weekend, which was December 1, 1968 - an SCCA Enduro event. He was invited to participate in the race by the RDC (Racing Drivers Club), which he was a member. He was also an SCCA member. In addition, he said that part of the day, 6S289 was parked next its sister car, 6S290. There may be more evidence forthcoming about this... These two GT350s were the two "stablemates" owned by Competition Press & AutoWeek. Both cars were purchased from CP&A about 18 months earlier. This day at Sears Point would have been the last time these two cars would have been together - 50 years ago.
