| 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." |
