The starting grid for the 1958 Grand Prix.

Ed Crawford in the #61 Cunningham Lister Jaguar. Always calm and precise, Crawford was the winner.

Ed Crawford on his way to winning the Grand Prix

Crawford and Momo stop to give the checkered flag back to Tex Hopkins.

Ed Crawford pulls his winning Lister off into the grass after his cool down lap. Crawford is signaling the car is broken and cannot make the victory lap.

Fast Eddie Crawford took his chief Alfred Momo on the victory lap. BUT notice they are in Lister #60 when Crawford drove #61. The winning car was sick and barely made it to the finish and Momo and Crawford stole Hansgen’s car for the honor lap.

Crawfords Lister-Jag wins the Grand Prix on the same day his boss, Briggs Cunningham clinches the America’s Cup yacht races. A great weekend for Briggs.

Walt Hansgn in #60 was an unusual second to Ed Crawford. Hansgen would be the 1958 SCCA CM champion.

Hansgen as he hits the turn at the bottom and heads up the hill. The knobbly was soon to be replaced by the more aero Lister designed by Frank Costin.

Gus Andrey had moved up from his previous 2 liter Ferrari to this stunning 4.1 Ferrari 335 monster. Only the Listers were quicker and Gus finished 3rd.

The Reeds Race Rads 250TR in the paddock. BARC founder Joe Tierno in the blue jacket is there to supervise.

Ed Hugus spins the nearly new 250TR at the hairpin. This was the last turn on the course, now where the first turn is located. Hugus was 6th overall despite the spin and 4rd in CM behind the two Listers and Andrey’s Ferrari.

E. D. Martin in his Ferrari returned to the Glen but could only finish 10th and behind the small Elva of Frank Baptista.

Major Gil Geitner’s 2 liter Ferrari 550TR had a quick run to 1st in E Modified and 8th overall.

The good Major in a close-up. Bell helmet, split lens goggles, arms out. The perfect late 50’s driving style.

The Hi-Tork Special Ferrari-Chrysler of Rich Lyeth had heaps of power but it was not running at the end of the race.

Bill Sadler in his Canadian Sadler Special MkII. Sadler won the Glen Classic in June but did not finish at the Grand Prix.

The Sadler MkII was essentially hand built. Small and light with a Corvette motor Sadler harassed the Cunningham cars, the Scarabs and every Ferrari and Maserati it came across. A fantastic tribute to a creative builder and engineer.

Sadler brings his car into the paddock. Note the unusual fact the car carries one exhaust pipe for each cylinder. It sounded fabulous.

In the paddock, Alfred Momo explains something to Bob Holbert. Future champion Al Holbert listens.

The start of the Queen Catherine Cup. Bob Holbert on the outside is barely in front of Don Sessler’s #74 up the hill with Newt Davis in #33 alongside. All are in Porsche 550RS racers. Flyod Aaskov in the #67 Lotus is already ahead of the GM field and he stayed there the entire race.

Bob Holbert narrowly leads Don Sessler in the Queen Catherine Cup for G&F modified cars. That is how they finished, Holbert 1st and Sessler 2nd.

Bob Holbert’s Porsche won the Queen Catherine Cup then came back later in the day to beat most of the big engined cars in the Grand Prix. He and Sessler were 4th and 5th overall.

Newt Davis, best known as the proprietor of Lime Rock Lodge had a great day to finish 3rd behind Holbert and Sessler.

Frank Baptista in his Elva MkIII was 3rd in GM and 6th overall.

BARC member Chuck Dietrich finished 2nd in his Elva MkII.

Don Peters in his Elva was 4th in GM and 8th overall. Peters was an excellent race driver and did so with one arm.

Doc Wyllie in his Lotus was fast but did not finish.

Millard Rip Ripley’s Elva MkII was another non finisher

A mixture of classes on the grid for a practice session. Ben Moore in #118 would finish second in the Glen Trophy race.

Jim Jeffords in the Purple People Eater won the big bore production race. Jeffords and the Nickey Chevrolet team traveled the county and won alost everywhere to earn their SCCA National Championship.

Jeffords take a couple gals with him on his victory lap.

Bob Grossman drove this XK150 against the Corvettes but could do not better than 12th overall and 5th in C production.

George Reed took his Ferrari Tour deFrance to second in CP and 6th overall. By far he won the best looking car of the race.

Archie Means in his AC Bristol whipped the field as AC’s took 5 of the top 6 places.

BARC founder Dave Nicholas sits and tries to look cool as he takes a ride in Archie Means race winning AC Bristol. He fails, but it still was a great ride.

Dick Thompson was the only car to separate the AC’s. Even then a very quick river he takes this Austin Healey to 5th overall and winds D Production.

Jordan King had some trouble in the race and finished 6th behind Dick Thompson’s Austin Healey.

Phil Cades Maserati GP car with a Chrysler engine won the Seneca Cup.

Fans gather around Phil Cades Seneca Cup winning Maserati GP car powered by a Chrysler V8.

Big Jake (the car) and Bob Bucher (the driver) took the Jakes Stable Allard to 2nd place in the Seneca Cup.

The Collier Cup race was for MG’s only. 27 cars formed up and what followed was a remarkable photo finish race among friends.

Great action as expected. Ross deSt. Croix’s coupe goes wide and Jack Paveling dives. Art Smith #43 and Hank vanDusen #21 are all up front.

Jack Paveling leads George Valentine with 2 laps to go but Bob Bucher in 029 is ready to pass into the lead.

The two best have cleared the field as Decker is catching Bucher. This is the last turn as they head out on the last lap.

Bucher brakes too late and gets all sideways. Decker sees it and cuts inside but also loses traction.

Decker looks at Bucher as they get the cars straight. From here it is a drag race to the finish with Bucher winning by inches.

The famous 029 MGA owned by Spankey Smith and driven by Bob Bucher is still racing in the 21st century. A very celebrated car.

Spankey and Bucher pose with Tex Hopkins. The note is to Sherm Decker who finished inches behind Bucher. What we know is that Sherm prepared and tuned the car that beat him.
