Sebring, 1955

I thought a few of you would enjoy these drawings reprinted from an old magazine in my collection! These are from Motorsport , July-August 1955 (the cost of the magazine back then was 35 cents!! /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif ) The artwork is by J George Janes! The descriptions got a bit jumbled, but lets see if you guys can figure them out!(I guess I should have typed the descriptions FIRST! /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/rolleyes.gif )

Thanks! Neat stuff!

One of the names there is Bob Said who's real name is Boris "Bob" Said.
Bob was not only an accomplished road racer but also an Olympian (in bobsleds)!

Many folks may be familiar with his son, Boris Said (really, Boris Said III).
The younger Boris is a great road racer and sometimes NASCAR racer.

Yup! That's what it looks like! /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/thumbsup.gif Here's a closer look for you! The caption reads "...the Shelby/Hill Ferrari keeps up with a 'copter!" /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/jester.gif
