Watkins Glen Grand Prix 1958
Big weekend for the new BARCboys.
Sleeping in Mrs. Duanes
cellar, wondering the town all night, watching our hero's Decker and
Bucher in the MG's. If there was a point where BARC crossed
over to being more than a couple teenagers who loved sports cars

The BIG race was the Grand
Prix. This 44 lap race for modified cars was the one race
you wanted to win. The Cunningham team had a strangle hold on
racing in the east until the Scarabs arrived, but
for some reason
Reventlow went home leaving the challenge to Bill Sadler and Gaston
Andrey. |
