| Hourglass Field:

Bob Norton sent me these photos from
the May 4th, 1957 race event at Hourglass Field.

Miles and Drake battle for the lead.
How many times did these two face off
in the 1950s and early 1960s? |

550 looks pleased with his victory over long-time rival Drake.
Soon enough the two will meet again. |
