There were only 201 cars entered in nine races this year. Roger Penske was back again--- this time in a Porche RS. The ladies race was a popular feature and saw Peg Wyllie, Susy Dietrich and Denise McCluggage competing.

Briggs Cunningham arrived with three Lister Jags this year. Walt Hansgen, Ed Crawford, and B.S. Cunningham were the drivers. Hansgen was first again with a new record of 72 mph. The feature race for B, C, and D modified also had the first three cars from the H and G, and the D, C, and E modified races.

The winner of G and H modified was Dr. M.R.J. Wyllie, one of the originators of the Cumberland races. Bruce Jennings was first in EP with a Porsche Carrera and Ray Heppenstall won DP.
