HERE'S A BEAUTIFUL SHOT OF PHIL HILL IN THE CHAPARRAL SNAKING THROUGH THE ESSES AT RIVERSIDE RACEWAY IN OCTOBER 1966. THIS CAR HAD THE CHEVROLET SMALL BLOCK AND AUTOMATIC TRANS WITH A LOCK-UP TORQUE CONVERTER.

PHIL STARTED 8th AND RETIRED ON LAP 9 WITH FUEL PRESSURE PROBLEMS, THE SAME THING THAT HAMPERED JIM HALL IN THE OTHER CHAPARRAL. JIM WENT ON TO GET 2ND.

PHIL WON LAGUNA SECA AND FINISHED 2ND AT MOSPORT TO FINISH 4TH IN THE POINTS RACE.

JOHN SURTEES WON THE RACE AND CHAMPIONSHIP.
