At the Riverside International Raceway in California, the Los Angeles Times Three-Hour Invitational Grand Prix race is held. 1963 model production Corvettes make their racing debut, as does the Ford-powered Cobra. Four Z06-equipped 327-ci 360-hp fuel-injected Corvettes with 36.5-gallon gas tanks are entered, but only one finishes. Finishing 1st overall is the Mickey Thompson #119 black Corvette Z06, driven by Doug Hooper. He averages 84-mph over the 250-mile course. The other Corvette drivers are Bob Bondurant (#614 silver), Dave MacDonald (#00 white), and Jerry Grant. The 260-ci Cobra leads by about one mile after one hour of racing when its rear suspension fails.
