September 23 1962 Reno Grand Prix - Dave MacDonald back in the drivers seat of his lightweight Corvette Special.

Dave agreed and Pat flew the car to Neveda and entered him as Sunday's main event driver. Dave was also entered
in the Saturday main event, driving his 1962 00 Corvette.

This photo ran in the Reno papers promoting the race but the car was no longer race-trimmed in Dave's familiar bright
orange #00 beauty. Pat had it repainted a maroonish color and numbered it #149

In the Sunday feature Dave piloted the Corvette Special into the lead on lap 5 but was forced to retire soon after with
rear end trouble. Birdcage Maserati driver Billy Krause was race winner while Don Wester & Don Hulette both in
modified Porsche 718's finished 2nd and 3rd respectively. MacDonald leading Krause & Wester heading into turn 1
