Ryan's Lotus failed close to the end of the race.  Here he brakes into the hairpin	Drama at the end. From nowhere, Tom Payne #113 passes Bucher #29 with 1 to go. Pete DeCosta protested and Payne refused teardown. He was DQ's for illegal motor and Bucher became FM Nat'l Champ	Bob Grossman's Berlinetta beat the Corvette's by nearly 30 seconds	Dr. Dick Thompson was 2d overall and first in BP in his Corvette number 213	Somebody had taken Bob Holbert's favorite #14, so he added a small zero... dumb SCCA
Wonder where these kids are now?  Are they barcboys readers? Beautiful 60 Sebring factory car of Bob Priebe	Sherm Decker had no car for the Glen. So he borrowed Cornell student Dave Morris' stock 1500	Already a legend, Decker cemented his standing by winning FP in an essentially stock MGA. Here David gives advice and Joan heads for the pit wall	Nicholas still had a thing for Linda Oulton - and here is her Dad George in this Fiat-Abarth	This kid Mark Donohue in Elva Courier 000 chases Dana Kellner.  He never caught him and ended 5th
A great shot of the lower paddock in 1961. Entry that year was huge. Phil Jeffrey's Berkeley crew has lunch in the Caddy's trunk.		Frowning as the throngs cheer, a very young Nicholas sits in Poupard's twin cam. The rebel was 7th in EP this year		Floyd Stone in his Lotus 7.  Zych loved 7's and shot every one he could find.
