A fun shot of two very different cars. The Alfa Giulietta of Lou Comito, Alan Markelson and Bob Pfaff racing against the Elva Mk II sports racer of William Bradley & John Bentley. The Alfa would win this battle.
An amazing race for this Lotus 11. Dave Tallaksen and Sam Weiss won the 1100cc class and were 4th overall. They beat their teammate and boss Colin Champman’s similar car
The yellow Cuban Ferrari 500TRC of Manolo Perez de la Mesa, Santiago Gonzalez and Alfonso Gomez-Mena finished in 27th. Only a year later Cuba would fall to Castro.
Jim Kimberly brought his spotless 200S Maserati. Kimberly shared the car with Pete Lovely. We don’t know who is in the car. Unfortunately being Italian and brand new it didn’t go far, retiring on lap 14.
Englishman Tony Brooks in the Aston Martin he shared with Stirling Moss. Both also race Vanwall’s in F1 and were great friends. Brooks is one great drive who is often overlooked.
Old Bob Bellows camera got this woman’s attention as well as the older gals un=approving look of her rather risque’ top for 1958.
A different shot of John Fitch in the Ferrari he co-drove with Ed Hugus. Fitch was a respected driver and had any number of rides in great cars.
A closer look at Mike Hawthorne. Hawthorne would go on to be the F1 World Champion in 1958, beating Stirling Moss by 1 point.
The very unusual greenish blue Maserati 300S of Dale Duncan, here in the drivers seat, that he shared with Jo Bonnier. The car ran about half the race before retiring.
