West Coast man, Bob Wenz took the hard route into Formula 3, building his own Wenz Special during 1951. By this time, Coopers and Kiefts were already appearing in the US and Bob's Ariel engine would never be a match for the JAP and Norton units so results were hard to come by and he eventually succumbed and purchased a Cooper Mk VI to take fourth in the 1958 SCCA National Championship. He later bought a Cooper Mk X. and continued the 1960s.
