Ranch 4 -- March 10, 1957
Ferrari expert David Seielstad
identified this car & driver for me:
"This is Bruce Kessler
in 500TR #0650. He wrecked it later in the day when he hit the end
of the pit wall. This was when CSCC discovered he was under age and
lifted his license."
Author and racing historian
Tim Considine added the following:
"David's right about Kessler
being in the 500 Testa Rossa, but I showed the photo to Bruce today and
he confirmed that his collision was not "at the end of the pit wall."
He clipped a tree at the top of the hill after momentarily being distracted
by sun in his eyes. And the SCCA did not pull his license then." |

Originally, the striped
car leading Kessler was identified as Jacques Bellesiles' Ferrari Monza.
Tim Considine again provides
an update:
"That's Lou Brero in the
ex-Ernie McAfee 750 Monza, I believe the only one Scaglietti ever made
without a headrest, though he didn't even remember that one when I asked
him about it." |
