Report by Art Evans and photos as noted<\/p>\n

I took this portrait of Phil Hill at his home in Santa Monica on June 6, 1993. It was one of a number I have taken of motorsports personalities. When I got ready to take the photo, Phil asked me what Fangio wore when I took his picture. I replied that he wore a suit and tie. So Phil went upstairs and changed his clothes.

On the night of November 10, 2011 a Tribute to Phil Hill was held at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles. The occasion \u2014 organized by Bruce Meyer\u2019s Checkered Flag 200 group that supports the museum \u2014 celebrated the 50th anniversary of Phil becoming America\u2019s first Formula One World Driving Champion. In addition to the festivities, the museum displayed an assemblage of cars Phil owned or raced.
\nA feature of the evening was the presentation of part of a documentary film about Phil Hill that his son, Derek, is working on. The part shown on multiple screens depicted the 1961 Formula One race at Monza where Phil clinched his championship driving a factory team 1.5-liter \u201cSharknose\u201d Ferrari Dino Type 156. The film was impressive in its production qualities and I look forward to seeing the finished product.<\/p>\n

Derek as well as his mother, Alma, spoke movingly about Phil. In addition, photographer Jesse Alexander, Dan Gurney, Jim Hall, Parnelli Jones, Road & Track<\/em>\u2019s John Lamm and Denise McCluggage participated in a roundtable-type discussion.
\nOver cocktails, a few of us reminisced about Phil\u2019s very early days in sports car racing. He bought his first car \u2014 an MG TC \u2014 in 1947 from a foreign-car dealership, International Motors, on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood. The salesman was John Von Neumann. Phil soon got the idea that the MG could be more than just transportation.
\nA group of enthusiasts, including Phil, put together an organization that year devoted to competition. They named it the California Sports Car Club. (Originally independent, in 1962 it became a region of the SCCA.) The first event, on August 31, 1947, was a time trial held on public roads in the then undeveloped hills of Palos Verdes. Phil ran his MG there as well as in another event called the “Centro Miglio” pronounced “Cen’toh Meel’yoh.” It was an illegal open road race held at night in the hills east of Los Angeles near the town of Saugus. Approximately 100 miles long, it started at the beginning of Bouquet Canyon Road and ended at Tips, a restaurant near Castaic. The competition was John Von Neumann’s idea. His wife, Elinor, was the timer and scorekeeper. She flagged them off at one-minute intervals. When all had gone, she would drive over a shorter route to Tips and log the finishes. The event was held a number of times during 1948. Bill Pollack recalled that, \u201cPhil Hill and I, along with Jack Early, were all in MG TCs. There were several other crazies, but their names escape me now.\u201d
\nOn November 14, 1948 and again on December 5, 1948, time trials were held on a 3\/10-mile test track at the Davis Motorcar Company in the San Fernando Valley. Roger Barlow in his Talbot-Lago Fagoni won the first one. Phil Hill won the MG class with John Von Neumann second. Sec Gausti in a supercharged Alfa Romeo 8C 2300, formerly owned by Tazio Nuvolari, won the December event.
\nThe Cal Club ran a number of wheel-to-wheel races during the forties at Carrell Speedway, a \u00bd-mile oval in Gardena, a suburb of Los Angeles. The Speedway had frequent professional races plus occasional amateur sports car events. Phil Hill was part of the organizing committee. The first was held on July 24, 1949. The very first race was an 8-lap \u201cHeat Race for Small Sports Cars.\u201d All of the cars were MG TCs. Phil, who by then had supercharged his MG, was third and then went on to win a 3-lap \u201cTrophy Dash\u201d plus the 25-lap main event. His time was 12 minutes, 12.49 seconds watched by 8,539 paid admissions.
\nThe Cal Club held its first legal road race in Palm Springs on April 16, 1950. The club became one of the most active in the United States, sometimes conducting as many as a race every month. On November 4, 1956 at Palm Springs, Hill in a 3.5 Ferrari had a race-long duel with Carroll Shelby in a 4.9 Ferrari. Shelby won by 0.5 seconds. On April 7, 1957, again at Palm Springs, Phil redeemed himself by defeating Shelby, who was in a Maserati.<\/p>\n

Phil had an amazing memory. At the beginning of the new millennium when I started to write about fifties-era racing, I often called him for remembrances. I recall an occasion when, in 2001, I was working on my third book, The Fabulous Fifties, Sports Car Racing in Southern California<\/em>. (Enthusiast Books 2002), I had heard a rumor that there had been a hill climb on August 14, 1949 at the northeastern edge of the San Fernando Valley on Big Tujunga Canyon Road. I called Phil to ask him about the event. More than 50 years later, he was able to tell me all about it and in great detail.
\nCarroll Shelby had been scheduled to be one of the Tribute\u2019s participants, but illness prevented his appearance. Nevertheless, he was represented at the Petersen gala by his first Cobra driver, Bill Krause as well as Shelby American driver John Morton, Ken Miles\u2019 son, Peter plus my son and Shelby\u2019s right-hand-man, David. It was remembered that Phil drove in 1964 and 1965 for Carroll Shelby\u2019s Shelby American in Cobras and GT40s. Even though Hill and Shelby were great rivals during the fifties, they were also fast friends. The record shows that Hill participated in ten major events in both the U.S. and Europe during those years. His best finish for Shelby was a class win at Sebring in 1964 teamed with Dan Gurney. At Le Mans that year, Phil set a new lap record and was running in fourth when the GT40\u2019s transaxle broke.<\/p>\n

Jim Hall came all the way to the Tribute from Texas and brought the Chaparral 2E as well. In 1966 and 1967, Hill raced 17 times in Jim Hall\u2019s Chaparrals, winning the 1966 Nurburgring 1,000 kms with co-driver, Jo Bonnier in the 2E. In the Can-Am, he was second at Mosport and won at Laguna Seca. At the 1967 Daytona, Phil and Mike Spence dominated the first four hours and set a new lap record in a 2F. At Spa, he set an all-time lap record of 146 mph. Phil and Mike won the 1967 6-hour BOAC 500, defeating Jackie Stewart and Chris Amon in the P4 Ferrari by 58.6 seconds after a nose-to-nose battle for the entire six hours. It was Phil\u2019s last professional motor race.
\nMuseum Director Buddy Pepp and his staff are to be commended for the effort and talent they put into this event. Also to be congratulated is frequent Sport Car Digest<\/em> contributor Will Edgar, who was responsible for pre-event publicity. Due to him, the event was sold out long in advance.<\/p>\n
