June, 1957, events.

up the right rear tire coming down from the top of the course.
He led off the starting
line but a stuck throttle forced him off-course in Turn 2.
He DNF'd when a steering
arm broke.
Hauser takes a long walk
back to the pits after the "Balchowsky Special" broke.
He's wearing his familiar
striped Jersey. No fireproof suits in these early days.
Jerry Austin in his D-Type
Jaguar leads the "Balchowsky Special".
Bob Norton remembers this
unusual shot: "It shows Austin followed by the "Balchowsky Special",
but with a passenger on board! This must have been during practice,
but I have no idea who the driver and passenger were."
