 Charles Kelsey’s 4CLT/48 Maserati F1 car sits next to the #135 Jomar of Ray Saidel.  Neither car finished.
 The old F1 car sits in the paddock on its single axle trailer.  In todays racing you are hard pressed to find more than a handful of single axle race car trailers.  And rarely would you see a great Maserati like this one.
