Ranch -- 8
On March 10th, 1957, the
race for small modified cars (under 1500 cc.) was hard fought.
 |
| Early in the race Ken
Miles in John von Neumann's Porsche 550RS leads Bob
Drake in Joe Lubin's "Bobtail" Cooper-Climax 1500. I can't identify
the other two cars. Does anyone remember?
6-13-03 "I
believe the 4th car in the first pic is a Devin-Panhard special."
Anton Krivanek |
Hard racing on the skinny
hard-compound tires of the era.
Sliding and drifting,
Drake and Miles battled for the lead in equally matched cars. |
 |
 |
Drake won this round
of the career-long duel between these two great drivers. |
