Freddy Windridge leads the first lap in the scary KelsoChev, but not for long	2nd lap has Hansgen leading, the Lister is off the road on the right and Constantine is sliding past Crawford	Gordon McKenzie's C Jag leads the last part of the field including Bucher's Mondial Ferrari	Fierce fight between Harry Blanchard in the Penske RSK & Don Sessler, here being blocked by Crawfords Lister	It doesn't get better than this with passing and re-passing all race long. Blanchard 3rd - Sessler 4th
Two boomers Ferrari & Aston - Constantine chasing Connell	George's Elisha Walker Aston was too much for the Texan's Ferrari with the Aston 2nd & Connell 5th	Westfield Walt Hansgen in the Costin Lister drove easily to a 25 second victory over the Aston	George Constantine DBR-2 Aston won a lot of races in 1959, but could not beat Hansgen at the Glen	Connell drove the Big Ferrari hard, but is there any other way to tame this hairy monster?
Ed Crawford started the #61 Lister but the car failed and he finished the day in Brigg's #62	Holbert has the fastest Porsche but had problems and finished 7th	Our favorite by far - Windridge in the sabre toothed Lister.  Who cared if it finished?  He hung with us after it blew	Bill Sadler's fast Canadian Special never made it to the finish line	Bob Grossman brought this California and had to run as a modified as not enough had been built
