Ed Matsuishi's Photos (5) United States Grand Prix -- Riverside 1960

From Ed: "In November, 1960 I went to the first and only US GP at Riverside. I had befriended Phil Hill who got me a pit pass for the event. He was driving a Yeoman Credit Cooper T51-Climax. You can see how casual the event was compared to F-1 today. Note Moss checking his own tire pressures."

(2-5-11) From Scott Sperka:

"I just ran across the 5 pages of Ed Matsuishi's photos of the West Coast and European paddocks, pits, races and they are remarkable! Also totally amazing is that they were taken while he was a mechanic for the Maseratis and a traveling friend of Phil Hill. Please give Ed my sincerest gratitude for digitizing them, choosing to post them, and for sharing his very unique experiences with us all. We have gotten a very rare and unique view into racing in a most wonderful era of each venue he has exposed to us. Thank you, so much!"
