Special" (later "Old Yeller I") in both the March and June, 1957,
events.
| Eric Hauser lights 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." |
