1975 Weisfield's Trophy
Pay 'N Pak Wins At San Diego...Clinches Third National Title
George Henley drove Dave Heerensperger's Pay 'N Pak to victory in the Weisfield’s Trophy Race on San Diego’s Mission Bay September 21 and, in so doing, gained enough points to earn the Pak team its third consecutive national championship. Les Rosenberg’s Weisfield’s driven by Billy Schumacher, broke an oil line in heat 2-A and dropped from contention for the race and the national crown. Nonetheless, Schumacher picked up enough marks during the season to win the ’75 driving championship. Henley did not compete in the year’s first two events, and finished in third as a driver behind Milner Irvin of the Lincoln Thrift.
The win at San Diego was the Pak's fifth win of the season, and her 16th career victory in three years. That makes her the winningest Unlimited in the sport’s history.
