Cal, That race you are talking about was the very first race that Dave MacDonald and Ken Miles drove as team mates at Riverside during a Pacific Coast Championship in Feb. 1963. Miles won the pole with MacDonald right beside him.
This is the excerpt from the book "Carroll Shelby's Racing Cobras":
"The Cobra's first win took place in a regional SCCA race at Riverside in 1963. MacDonald won going away from everyone except Miles, who followed him across the line. What set the Corvette guys teeth to grinding was a typical Miles stunt. Halfway through the race, he pitted suddenly and asked for a drink of water. Tossing the half empty cup aside. he tore out of the pits, repassed the Corvette's and closed in behind MacDonald for the finish. The screams from the Corvette and Stingray drivers were loud and bitter, and they would have filed a protest if they could. But, there was nothing in the rule book that said a driver couldn't stop for a drink of water if he was thirsty."
The normally reserved Miles had his own unusual way of getting the point across!
