Gamble graduated from Fort Lauderdale High School in 1950 and joined the Air Force as a radio operator during The Korean War.

[2] During his last semester in college, he spotted a disassembled Crosley Hot Shot, and talked its owner into a straight trade for his Zündapp motorcycle.

Jarrard raced a team of 3 TR3s and Gamble was assigned to Sedan class battles with the new TR10 (1,000 cc Standard 10) to dice with VWs, Renault Dauphines, and Morris Minors.

These first two backers opened the corporate doors to Shell/BP, Exide, Champion, DA Lubricants, Koni, Dow and Guest Airways (Mexico to Paris via Miami).

Casner took off to Europe in September (59) and approached bankrupt Maserati who had their new Birdcage T61, a world beater but no finances to race a factory team.

Camoradi's driver roster: Jim Rathman, Roger Ward, Carroll Shelby, Masten Gregory, Dan Gurney, Juan Fangio(Parade lap at Cordova, Argentina 1960), Chuck Daigh, Jo Bonnier, Jack Mcafee, Jim Jeffords, Bill Weustoff, Fred Windridge, Joe Sheppard, Dick Dungan, Pinkie Windridge, Denise McCluggage, Umberto Maglioli, Nino Vaccarella, Nino Todaro, Gino Munaron, Giorgio Scarlatti, Lucky Casner, Lee Lilley, Fred Gamble, Dave Lane, and Johnny Cuevas.

Sad ending to Gamble's Le Mans story was to find out years later they had been excluded due to insufficient miles covered under the index of performance rules.

Porsche manager Von Hanstein changed his mind at the last minute and denied Gamble the car as it had a "works" engine installed.

For the GP of Europe at Monza, September 4, 1960, Ferrari pushed the organizers to use the rough high banks to scare off the British rear engine cars.

This boycott opened the entry for Formula Two cars so Gamble entered the Camoradi Behra-Porsche for himself as driver and for starting money!

So Gamble paced himself 500 rpm below redline, running 8th OA and 1st Privateer F2, when he was stranded out of fuel, ran to the pits for a can of gas and dashed across the line for 10th.

Gamble and team mechanic New Zealander Bob Wallace (who stayed in Modena and became Lamborghini's Chief Test Engineer) took the Corvette and a Maserati to the Swedish GP for sports cars.

Sadly, in southern Sweden after a lunch stop with beer, Wallace apparently dozed off, flipped and destroyed the Corvette.

Gamble left Camoradi in October, dismayed by big spending Lucky Casner, abusing the team's sponsors trust.

Harrison had bought the ex-Camoradi Le Mans Streamliner and had just won the U.S.A. pro sports car Championship with Carroll Shelby and Jim Jeffords.

Gamble started the 1961 season at the first National race at Marlboro, Maryland, finishing second to Bob Holbert (lap record holder).

He drove through the first half of the season, leading in points after several races but the team was coming unraveled in discord due to a difficult shop manager.

At the end of the 1961 year, the SCCA announced its season champions and Gamble was 3rd in points to Roger Penske and Walt Hansgen.

Summer of 1962, Carroll Shelby presented his first Cobra to Ford, won their support and went the New York to show off his new car to the International Motor Press Association.
