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

Climax "Bobtail". |

Miles and Drake battle
for the lead.
How many times did these
two face off in the 1950s and early 1960s? |
| Miles in John von Neumann's
Porsche 550 looks pleased with his victory over long-time rival Drake.
Soon enough the two will
meet again. |
