Pedro Rodriques

Pedro Rodriques 1940 - 1971

Pedro never ran a Grand National race but he did race and win at Daytona.

In 1963 he won the FIA sanctioned Daytona Continental 3 Hour Race in a Ferrari 250GT.

In '64 he won the Daytona Continental 2000K race in a Ferrari 250GT with Phil Hill.

Phil Hill and Pedro Rodriques sit on their Ferrari in Vitory Circle after the '64 win. The guy in the lower right with face behind trophy is my dad, Wayne Andrews.

In 1966 the race was lengthened to 24 hours. In 1970 Pedro won again in a Porsche 917K with Loe Kinnunen and Brian Redman.

Pedro won again and for the last timein 1971 with Jackie Oliver in a Porsche 917K. Pedro would die in a crash in Germany before the year was out.

Before the 1972 running of the 24 Hours of Daytona the following appeared in the Daytona Beach Morning Journal.
